“Hawke’s Bay has everything — and most of it is closer than you think.”
Lawn Road Retreat sits in the heart of the Bay — 20 minutes from Napier Airport, 8 minutes from central Ha12stings and Havelock North, 15 minutes from Napier, and 10 minutes from the Te Awanga coast. Within easy reach of the region’s best wineries, cycling trails, and coastline.
It’s the kind of location where you can do as much or as little as you like. Some guests barely leave the property. Most find they wish they stayed for longer…

WINE COUNTRY
New Zealand’s oldest wine region. Some of its very best.
Hawke’s Bay is home to more than 70 wineries, concentrated across two incredible growing areas — the alluvial Gimblett Gravels for big reds, and the cooler Bridge Pa Triangle for aromatics and Chardonnay
Some of the best estates are on your doorstep — Craggy Range, Black Barn and Askerne Estate just 5 minutes away, Clearview Estate and Elephant Hill 8 minutes. Spend a morning doing a self-guided loop and you’ll barely scratch the surface.

HAWKE’S BAY CYCLE TRAIL
One of New Zealand’s great rides. It starts at our gate.
The Hawke’s Bay Cycle Trail is one of the country’s Nga Haerenga Great Rides — a network of routes through vineyards, orchards, and river country that you can ride in sections or string together over several days.
The trail runs practically past the front gate, meaning you can head out from the property and be in the middle of the countryside within minutes. No driving to a trailhead. No car shuffles.
LOCAL RECOMMENDATION
Napier Bike Hire delivers quality bikes directly to the property — road, hybrid, and e-bikes available. They’ll sort out everything you need for a brilliant day on the trail.
