More Nature, Better Living
Artisan Water from New Zealand’s Hawke’s Bay
Hawke’s Bay sets a good table. HBay is the water from beneath it.
Orchards, vineyards and long lunches on the east coast of the North Island. HBay Natural Artesian Water is bottled in Hastings and carried to tables across New Zealand.
No surface water is used. HBay is 100% bottled at the source, where natural pressure brings the water up from below.

A landscape shaped by time
250,000 years of natural formation.
The Heretaunga Plains developed over some 250,000 years as river gravels, sand, silt and clay were laid down. That figure describes the landscape, not the age of the water.
