About Haumoana

Haumoana is a coastal settlement on Hastings District's Cape Coast, just south of the Tukituki River outlet. Hawke's Bay Tourism describes the area around Haumoana and Te Awanga through its beaches, surfing, fishing, coastal cycling, local art and nearby Cape Kidnappers; it locates the well-known wineries in Te Awanga. Everyday local services include Four Square Cape View and Brown Dog Espresso, both listed in Haumoana. The Council's Cape Coast plan identifies coastal erosion and inundation as long-running community concerns, and the Council lifted a local emergency in June 2024 after sea levels no longer posed a threat.3,5,8,9,10
