Food scene
A casual local with great pizza. An honesty policy allows you to help yourself to beers from the red fridge. Nice area out back on a long summer evening.

This is a must do. A lovely garden area serving coffee, tea and cake. A limited lunch option too. A very popular sweet shop and ice cream parlour for the kids on the premises. Plenty of space out back for kids to run around while parents have a break..馃檪

A must do while in Havelock. Spectacular 360deg views over Hawke鈥檚 Bay. You can drive to the top but better walk from either the bottom carpark on Tainui or the second car park halfway up. Myriad of tracks to choose from to suit various fitness levels. The jewel in the crown of Havelock. (Go early as the car parks fill up)

Cafe鈥檚
There is no shortage of cafe鈥檚 in Havelock! Wright and Co is nice for breakfast although on the pricey side. Maina is a personal favourite for good coffee and lunch salads. Hawthorns also a popular local.

Bars
Not spoilt for choice but enough for a few nights out during the week. Piku and Allesandros share an open area that鈥檚 nice for an early drink before dinner before it packs out. Diva鈥檚 on the sidewalk also nice for sundowners. The Loading Ramp best if there鈥檚 a game on. Avoid Turks unless you鈥檙e a punter then enjoy.
