Link Hawke’s Bay is owned and operated by Peter and Jeanette Kelly.

 

Together, they share a wide range of tourism and hospitality experience. Upon returning to Hawke’s Bay in the mid 90s, Peter and Jeanette established and operated award-winning Bed & Breakfast property Hawthorne Country House. They simultaneously established Hawthorne Coffee Roasters, which evolved into a thriving stand-alone business after the B&B was sold in 2001. Other forays into hospitality include restaurant and retail businesses. 

 

Peter has an affinity with luxury vehicles and driving is a pleasure for him.  He’s lived in Hawke’s Bay for more than fifteen years and driven the central and lower North Island roads countless times, giving him a local knowledge that he’s happy to share.

 

Jeanette has a background in tourism, having worked in marketing and public relations for luxury lodges and the corporate travel industry.
