The Esk Valley, Napier and the Hawke’s Bay have so much to offer for you to eat and enjoy during your stay at Kiwiesque. Please read some of our recommendations below.
Please note:
For bookings Mondays – Thursdays, there is a minimum of two nights required.
If you would like to book your conference or retreat over the weekend, during October to the end of April, we have a minimum requirement of three nights.
A popular option that we encourage for our large groups is to book caterers ahead of your stay to bring restaurant-quality food to you at Kiwiesque. This allows you to truly relax and enjoy everything the property has to offer without needing to worry about getting to and from a restaurant. The feedback we get from guests is that this really makes the holiday a time to slow down and rest.
