About
The Hawke's Bay Naturist Club, nestled in the quiet rural setting of Puketapu near Hastings, offers a unique and inclusive wellness experience that stands apart from typical Hawke's Bay attractions. This private members' club provides a peaceful sanctuary for body-positive recreation and natural living, set on spacious grounds that make the most of the region's warm, sunny climate. It's become a respected destination for those seeking a judgment-free environment to relax, socialise, and reconnect with nature—a side of Hawke's Bay wellness tourism that appeals to a growing community of like-minded visitors.
Visitors can expect a welcoming, respectful atmosphere focused on relaxation and community. The club features well-maintained facilities in a natural setting, and the 5.0-star rating from 12 Google reviews speaks to the genuine care taken with grounds, amenities, and member experience. Day visits are available for guests, making it accessible beyond the core membership base. Plan for at least a few hours to properly enjoy the space; it suits couples, friends, and solo travellers equally well. The vibe is calm and low-key rather than party-focused, so come prepared to unwind.
While Hawke's Bay is famous for its wineries, food scene, and coastal walks, the Naturist Club offers a quieter, more introspective experience that pairs well with wellness-focused trips. It's a short drive inland from Hastings, making it easy to combine with visits to local vineyards, orchards, or the Art Deco architecture of Napier. The warm, dry summers (December–February) are ideal, though the club operates year-round for those seeking a more peaceful shoulder-season escape.
