Central Hawkes Bay/Waipukurau is the Southern Gateway to the Hawkes Bay Region and is the first stop for visitors from Wellington, Wairarapa and Manawatu. Central Hawkes Bay stretches from the mountain slopes of the Ruahine Ranges in the west to the sandy beaches of the Pacific Ocean in the East. It offers plenty of options for getting off the beaten track to explore the area in your own time, with walking, cycling and back country fishing just some of the possibilities.
