Hastings is renowned for its fruit and grape production, and has been called "The Fruit Bowl of New Zealand." The city is located on the fertile Heretaunga Plains, 20km inland from the Eastern Coast of New Zealand's North Island. Named after the first British governor of India, the city enjoys hot, dry summers. The surrounding region is a land rich in horticulture and viticulture, and produces some of the best wines in New Zealand.
Following a disastrous earthquake in 1931, the city was extensively rebuilt in the Spanish Mission style of the period. The well preserved central-city buildings are a popular attraction for visitors to the city. The city's other attractions include an Exhibition Centre, the Splash Planet water amusement park, two boutique breweries and the attractive Frimley Rose Garden. The city is also host to two annual events; the popular Agricultural & Pastoral Show in late October and the Highland Games at Easter.
A trip to the local wineries to sample the excellent wines of the region is a splendid way to spend a summer's afternoon. Nearby Cape Kidnappers is home to the world's largest gannet colony, and with 5 Golf Courses in the area, even your more active leisure activities are catered for.
