It is located on the east side of the north island and is famous for its wine, scenery, beaches as well as its artistic and historical towns.

Here are some tips for people wanting to explore this lovely region.

Sample the Wine

This is one of the oldest wine regions of New Zealand and they’ve used these many years to perfect their wine making techniques.

I’ve visited Hawke’s Bay a number of times and I always set aside a half day for me and whoever is travelling with me at the time to visit various wineries.

It’s quite a lot of fun actually, getting to each winery and tasting their particular variety of wine.

Some of these offer the tasting for free (as long as you buy their wine) but some will actually charge you. But even for the ones that charge you, I still think it is a fair deal as you get to try a number of their wines, some of them from the more expensive bottles. I tend to stay at each winery for at least 15 minutes.

If you do the same, make sure you buy at least one bottle of Chardonnay as they are famous for it.

Cycle around the Scenery

The scenery around this region is beautiful with many rolling lush green and fertile hills. You can get around most of the region by a car but I enjoy picking a small part of Hawke’s Bay and riding a bicycle for the day.

This lets me get out and enjoy the countryside. The roads are mostly great for cycling, well-sealed and not too steep, compared to many in New Zealand anyway!

If you’re thinking about cycling there for the first time, I would try the areas around Havelock North and stop in Havelock for lunch as it is a fabulous small town with historical buildings and lots of lovely cafés to choose from.

Relax at the Beaches

You have a huge range of beaches to choose from in this region, most of them with long stretches of golden sand.

My favorite is ‘Cape Kidnappers’ beach.  It’s really beautiful with an outstanding rugged coast.

There is also a famous golf course there for people who like that game but I think you need to book well in advance.

Visit the Artistic and Historical Towns

Another thing this region is very famous for is the art deco and historical towns and cities.

The two that stands out for me were Napier and Havelock North.

Napier is a large city on the coast (well, large by New Zealand standards anyway) with a huge number of art deco buildings. It also has some nice beaches, swimming pools and lots of bars and restaurants.

But my personal favorite was the small town of Havelock North. It almost feels like a small village from a 100 years ago but very well cared for indeed.

Make sure you have a coffee and cake in one of the many cafés in this town.

You need to really properly do the planning of the whole process and when it comes down to preparing for the removal of the house the things that you will have to pay closer attention to are in fact the way in which you will be taking out all of your possessions from the different rooms and then how are you going to arrange them in your new home. Always make sure to check if your new home is bigger than your old one or smaller in order to be well aware how it will all look and fit. You will definitely have more work to do if you will be moving to a smaller home but on the bright side you will be able to sell more things and get more money.

The packing in a house is relatively easier and in the same time harder. First of all, in a house you will certainly more space and the whole process will naturally be a lot more organized and happen a lot more quickly. That’s on the bright side. On the downside however remember that a house usually has four to five times more stuff at least than an ordinary regular sized apartment which means you need to double, triple, etc. the days you will spend on the removal in order to get it done. Either way, remember that you should treat all of your rooms and all of your possessions with equal amount of energy and responsibility and you mustn’t falter regardless of how tiring it may feel.

When it comes down to transportation usually you won’t have any other choice apart from hiring something really big, except if you don’t have at your disposal a whole convoy of your friends cars, who can transport your stuff in one or two days at least. Well, if not, the easiest thing is basically to hire a moving truck and the truck will safely and securely transport your stuff to your new home, provided the journey involves land and nothing else. Now, an overseas move will be much more difficult and quite possibly involve a cargo plane or a ship either of which is very expensive so you need to make your calculation quite well.

When you unpack in your new home, the procedure is basically the same-you take out the essentials first and then you handle the rest of it. It is a good idea to take every group of boxes and possessions for each other room separately if you can afford to have your transportation vehicle around until the unpacking is complete. Otherwise you will just have to put everything in the living room of your house and from there spread and arrange it across your house.

All in all, a house is supposed to be a bit more difficult than an apartment in terms of removal but the same rules apply here, just a bit more comforts and yet in the same time a bit more difficulties.

However, before we proceed to the guidelines on buying a new car, let us take a look at how you can make good amount out of the old one. For instance, if you have a car that is not giving you satisfactory performance and mileage, then of course, there is no point of showcasing the vehicle in garage. You can always make a ditch attempt to earn some money out of it by giving it to car body removals. If you reside in New Zealand, contact a few car wreckers in your area, collect quotes and estimates, evaluate them, and choose the best deal.

Now coming back to the advises for buying a car, let us take a look at the below mentioned points –

First-thing-first: One of the most important things that you must do when buying a car is determining the budget. Knowing the amount that you can afford to spend on a new car will help you choose the model of the car and its features. It will help you decide on whether you want leather seats, automatic climate control, multifunction steering wheel, power driver’s seat, in-dash CD changer or satellite radio.

 Do your research work: You must have already spotted some cars on the road that interest you. Now take out some time and do research on your car choices. Go online and search for the prices and features of the chosen cars, so that you are in a strong position to haggle when going into the dealership or speaking to the vendor.

Contact several vendors: Make sure that you contact and correspond with at least more than 3 vendors to collect prices and estimates. Compare them and evaluate in order to determine the best deal. You can also look for discounts and sales offered by several different vendors in order to get your ever dreamt car at cheaper cost.

Buy at the right time: Keep an eye on the dealers to ensure that you buy the car at the right time. There are many dealerships that

look to shift excess stock ahead for the introduction of new registration plates in March and September. This would be one of the great times to pick up a new car. This is the ideal time when you can bargain and achieve buying a car at relatively much cheaper cost. If you are absolutely ready to make a purchase, then consider holding it off till August or September.

Take a test drive before buying the car: Just like you would not buy a pair of shoes without trying on them first, you should not purchase a car without taking it for a spin. Hence, before buying a car, make sure that you take a test drive with someone along with you who has good knowledge about the features of the car. This will help you buy the best car with best features.
