Te Mata Peak is a peak south of Hastings rising up to 399m in the Te Mata Hills in the Hawkes Bay region of New Zealand A sealed road leads to the popular lookout at the summit, as well as many trails for hikers and mountain bikers. The Hastings suburb of Havelock North is situated at the base of the peak. Te Mata peak and the surrounding range runs in a North-East to South-West direction
The name originates from the name of the hillscape in Maori, Te Mata-o-Rongokako, or "the face of Rongokako". Rongokako was an ancestor of the Ngati Kahungunu and the area is believed to be his final resting place.When looking at the peak from the north, it appears to be the silhouette of a person lying down, which is said to be Rongokako.European settlers called the peak the "Sleeping Giant", a name which is still in use today.
