The Black Barn is located right in the heart of the Vineyard just behind but out of sight of Rush Cottage. Surrounded by grapes, almond trees, Olive trees and citrus it looks out from its slight rise above the vines to a vista that stretches right across the beautiful province of Hawkes Bay. It looks from the snowcapped mountains in the west to the ocean and river valleys in the east. The Black Barn is just 30 minutes from Napier Airport, 10 minutes from the city of Hastings and just 5 minutes from the quaint and historic village of Havelock North. It is set right in the heart of New Zealand's premier wine region and many of New Zealand's most famous wine names are literally on your doorstep. Beautiful beaches, golf courses, trout fishing rivers and shopping are all just minutes away.
