Kaweka Hunting enjoys a premium location at the edge of New Zealand’s most celebrated wine growing region, with more than 70 wineries in easy reach. With a stunning landscape that rises to Te Mata Peak (the sleeping giant) and stretches to the Pacific Ocean, the Hawke’s Bay region is a true jewel in New Zealand’s crown.

With a Mediterranean climate and so much to see and do, our Ranch is an ideal location for non-hunters to make the most of what this fantastic region has to offer. Napier, less than one hour away, is a seaside art deco city which attracts 1930’s enthusiasts to walk, talk and party.

Many of our guests also enjoy a visit to the world’s largest mainland gannet colony and nesting area on the wild and beautiful Cape Kidnappers. The region also boasts world class golf, art galleries and antiques, Maori heritage, outdoor wilderness experiences and adventure activities to provide an enticing regional experience to really make the most of your time in New Zealand.
