This was a very nice scenic drive in the Hawke's Bay area, well enjoyed on a day we were trying some food specialty shops and driving around the Havelock North and Hastings community. We really enjoyed the small, winding roads and the views from the peak of the nearby plains, wineries, townships and Cape Kidnappers area were very good. Views... More

We drove up and the road is a bit narrow and windy at the top but the views are spectacular More

This peak gives you a panoramic view of the Hawke's Bay area. I very much liked the view toward the Tukituki river. The approach with steep drop offs and no guard rails is not for the faint of heart.

A long and winding road with a few dodgy bends, but once you make it to the top, the views over Hawke's Bay are stupendous. With the absolutely gorgeous Tuki Tuki River valley, Napier to the north and Hastings to the west, the trig station at the top is the ideal spot for photographs and the display balustrade tells you...

Great liitle drive through a really cute part of Hawke's Bay. Up on top, you have a great view of all around Hawke's Bay and on a somewhat clear day you can really take some beautiful pictures.

This is a place where we always take our visitors, the view on a clear day is stunning and gives one a perspective of location of surroundings areas/ towns etc. A great place to see the extent of the Tuki Tuki valley. More

Worth the short drive or walk to the top, magnificent views. More

This place is amazing - awesome breathtaking views. Bit of a scary drive up the narrow one car width rd - but worth it More

What a fabulous view from Te Mata Peak. Its a great drive up. Perhaps take something to eat and drink and your sand fly location. More
