Enjoy pastoral New Zealand and fill your lungs with crisp mountain air. Several private walking tracks and bush walks will take you along breathtaking vistas.

If hiking is not your thing, how about relaxing in the lush gardens of Haurata. Hundreds of rhododendron trees, an avenue of cheery trees and heaps of other plants and flowers allow for a relaxed atmosphere and some time off from the road.

Other activities include mountain-biking, bushwalks and swimming.
