Overlooking the vineyards, Breckenridge Lodge (above) is our luxury sojourn for the next fortnight, complete with host chef, Malcolm Redmond. We were treated to gourmet dinners in the company of other guests from all over the world.
We visited wineries, mostly by bicycle, including Mission Estate (top) the oldest vineyard in New Zealand, transplanted from the original old church, now a local restaurant (above).
The Irish monks started off by just making sacremental wine but soon found a mass market for their product.
NEIGHBOURING NAPIER
Art Deco Capital of the world, rebuilt in 1933 after the disastrous earthquake and fire razed the original city to the ground in 1930. All the buildings are in this surreal 30s style - awe inspiring.
Some examples of the architecture, cars and designs of the period.
Apologies for the badly dressed models!
