District de Central Hawke's Bay : idées de séjour, infos pratiques et culturelles

District de Central Hawke's Bay
Longest place name. South of Waipukurau. Near Porangahau in Hawke’s Bay is an unassuming hill known as "Taumata whakatangi hangakoauau o tamatea turi pukakapiki maunga horo nuku pokai whenua kitanatahu", which translates into English as "the place where Tamatea, the man with the big knees, who slid, climbed and swallowed mountains, known as 'landeater’, played his flute to his loved one." Locals simply call it Taumata Hill. Tamatea was a famous chief and warrior. One day, while travelling through the back of Porangahau, he encountered another tribe and had to fight them to get past. During the fight his brother was killed. Tamatea was so grieved over the loss of his brother that he stayed at the battle site for some days. Each morning he would sit on the hill and play a lament on what is called the koauau or Maori flute.
Great little stop to pick daffodils
Every year in September the Mabin family open their front paddocks to the public to let them explore ( and pick from ) their daffodils. They do this for free and all money raised from the sale of the daffodils goes to the Plunket Society
A hidden gem.

District de Central Hawke's Bay : les plus belles villes à visiter

Picture tells it all, well except for the silky smooth sand. This photo was taken in the peak of summer holidays (3 Jan 2015). On the coast road between Waipukurau and Masterton. Beautiful sandy beach made for sand castles, fishing, walking, blow carts, etc including annual Easter races and the odd Polo game.
