Te Mata Peak
A 399-metre summit with a sealed road to the top and views across the whole bay.
Te Mata Peak rises 399 metres above the Heretaunga Plains, about thirty-five minutes from Ahuriri. A sealed road runs all the way to the summit, where the view stretches across Hawke’s Bay to the coast and, on a clear day, to Mount Ruapehu.
The 99-hectare park below holds walking and mountain-biking tracks and a redwood grove. There is no cafe at the summit, so bring what you need.
