Dining & Arriving in Style

ASSOCIATED EVENT

Sit back and soak up the sights, sounds, and unmistakable aromas of our steam-powered heritage as you make your way to Ahuriri behind a magnificent Vintage Steam Traction Engine. Departing from outside Kahukura Hawke’s Bay Museum, enjoy a leisurely journey along the scenic waterfront to one of Hawke’s Bay’s iconic dining destinations, The Thirsty Whale Restaurant & Bar, where a three-course set menu awaits. Guests can choose from three menu options, while beverages may be purchased separately on the day. After dinner, rejoin your steam-powered carriage for the return journey to Napier’s Soundshell, arriving in style at approximately 7:45 pm, just as the evening festivities are getting underway.

A unique blend of heritage, hospitality, and harbour-side charm, all powered by steam!
