A whirlwind visit to newest and trendiest hotel in the Bay - The Crown - situated oceanside in the equally trendy newly revamped area of Ahuriri Port. Some of the country's best bylines headed east for a luxurious sleepover and dining at the adjacent Milk and Honey restaurant.
There was also time to fit in a little wine tasting and lunch at Clearview winery - thanks Tim, and then we took to the air for a chopper's eye view of the sprawling Cape Kidnappers.
With the group replete we left the next day with vows and wows to come back for more!
Bron and the team at The Crown pulled out all the stops with the little MG proving to be a big hit as the group shuttle service. Louise pictured with Hawkes Bay Inc's Kris Larner with The Crown Hotel GM Bronwyn Bulpitt in the drivers seat. Motoring became a bit of a theme with AA Directions Kath Webster reinventing the art of draping oneself art deco style.
