Elevated above Napier with wineries at the gate, trails on the doorstep, and the best of Hawke's Bay within ten minutes — Mission Hills is quickly becoming the region's most coveted place to call home.
There's a reason people can't stop talking about Mission Hills. Positioned on the elevated landform to the west of the Mission Estate Winery, this pocket of Hawke's Bay offers something increasingly rare: a place where genuine lifestyle quality meets everyday convenience, without having to compromise on either.
The Terraces is located here — and the reasons why this address was chosen for this project are exactly what makes life at Mission Hills so compelling.
Wineries on Your Doorstep
Mission Hills sits in the heart of Hawkes Bay wine country. The Mission Estate Winery — New Zealand's oldest winery — is three minutes from your front door. Church Road Winery, one of the country's most acclaimed producers, is four minutes away. Ahuriri Village, with its waterfront restaurants and boutique bars, is nine minutes.
For those who love food and wine this address is simply unmatched.
Connected to Everything
Despite its elevated, hillside character, Mission Hills is remarkably well connected. Napier City Centre is ten minutes away. Hawke's Bay Airport — connecting you to Auckland, Wellington, and Christchurch — is also ten minutes. The Napier–Hastings Expressway is eight minutes, making Hastings and the wider region easily accessible.
Taradale Town Centre, with its supermarkets, cafés, medical practices, and everyday amenities, is just five minutes away, and the future boutique commercial precinct within Mission Hills itself will create a convenient community hub a stone's throw from your home.
Schools That Set the Standard
Families are increasingly choosing Mission Hills for its proximity to some of the region's finest schools. Taradale Primary is five minutes away, Taradale Intermediate seven. Napier Boys' High School and Napier Girls' High School — two of Hawke's Bay's most established secondary schools — are twelve and thirteen minutes respectively. The Eastern Institute of Technology (EIT), Hawke's Bay's premier tertiary provider, is seven minutes.
Trails, Parks, and Open Space
The Mission Hills 25km loop trail begins at the development's edge — one of the region's newest walking and cycling circuits, perfect for a short daily stroll, run or ride, a longer effort at the weekend. Napier Golf Club Waiohiki is eleven minutes away. Park Island Recreation Ground, Dolbel Reserve, and Sugarloaf Reserve are all easily accessible and offer a range of recreational options.
For residents of The Terraces, the outdoors isn't a destination — it's an extension of home.
An Address With a Future
Mission Hills is not simply a convenient location — it is an address that is coming into its own. The Mission Hills Commercial Precinct is in development, and will bring new hospitality, retail, and services to the area. As the wider precinct matures, early residents of The Terraces will find themselves at the centre of something genuinely significant.
This is Hawke's Bay - as it should be lived.
