Flaxmere
Flaxmere is a district of Hastings City. It has a population of about 4500 residents. It was originally intended as a housing development area so Hastings could continue to grow without damaging the valuable horticultural land of the Heretaunga Plains, although it is still technically built on the Heretaunga Plains. Because of this Flaxmere is built on poor soil, and not much grows there. In recent times the value of the gravel-filled soil that Flaxmere is built on has been recognized, leading to a proliferation of vineyards. These vineyards produce some of the best wine in the world.
Being a suburb that was planned with modern town planning knowledge (about 1964) Flaxmere has many large and varied green spaces that are good value to explore.
· Flaxmere Park. This huge park has very nice rose gardens and is interesting to explore
· Flaxmere Avenue Travels the length of Flaxmere from one end to the other
· Flaxmere is surrounded by many of Hawkes Bay's more famous winery's and vineyards
· Flaxmere Water World is a large heated indoor swimming pool. Cost $1 to get into the heated pools. They have huge inflatable toys for the kids to play on. Swansea Rd Flaxmere.
Like most of Hastings Flaxmere is home to a number of wineries. All are excellent places to eat and drink.
