Help with a travel itinerary to NZ

If passing through Hawke's Bay, check out this page. https://www.facebook.com/groups/758846289555425
General consensus seems to be Shaeno's Brisket pie as being the best (and it is amazing) but I prefer the corned beef (with vegetables, mustard sauce, potato top) from BJ's Bakery
-
@Stockcar86 noice! Is it proper corned beef?
-
@Stockcar86 I'm in the Hawkes bay at the moment but not a big Facebook user
Who's selling the pie? Will try to get there in her next couple of days!
Edit: found it. Shaneos Bakehouse Hastings. Will try and swing past

I won't add to the huge list, but enjoy the trip
Thanks.
Sorry all, last question - I've put my email down for the presale to the Hamilton test..... Worse case scenario and I don't get tickets...... Is there a chance I will be able to get two tickets on the day of game from a tout?
I'm assuming it's a little tricky to do so these days cos tickets seem to be digital versus paper but just wondering if anyone can shed some light.....
If I don't get tickets it's not the end of the world, we will just find a pub to watch it in but I definitely want to give it a shot.

To be honest if you are in the presale and quick online, you are unliekly to miss out
That is encouraging. Thank you.

You sound surprised?
Suitably impressed that it segued so nicely to pies and beer really.
I was going to mention the lack of chicks being slightly disappointing, but I probably just didn't wait long enough.

How long has Shaneos been on that spot?
Also, do they have meatballs like the previous bakery in that spot did?
-
@Nepia Every bakery worth anything in Napier or Hastings has meatballs. They are pretty good from there too

That should be true, but sadly on trips back I have found some that don't have them.
Can you remember what the bakery here used to be called? It's annoying me now.

Sorry. my brain is mush, so can't recall. Here is a closeup of those meatballs... mmmmmmm

Just thought I would throw this out there and hope to hear suggestions.
Wife and I decided we don't need to go to Aussie for a couple of years, and may just do NZ holidays .
So at end of April we heading south, booked to fly to Christchurch, have a day there at this stage, then do the Tranzalpine railway trip. We then pick up a rental car, and have at this stage booked a night in Greymouth, then 3 nights Hokitika. Kind of hoping for suggestions what to look at etc, perhaps a few walks (remembering I an old bugger, so not too hard).
After that we will have about 3 days until we fly back out of Chch, so am thinking stopping Arthurs Pass, and maybe Castle Hill, but keen to hear ani ideas etc.
