Welcome to Summer in the Wairarapa

Welcome to the Wairarapa tourism website - here you can book accommodation online, and find information about wineries, tours and restaurants, fun events for the family and even how to plan your conference or wedding.

Summer is just one of the four seasons we do really well! Enjoy our hot and sunny Wairarapa summer - at a river or beach, lunching at one of our vineyard cafes or just shopping and relaxing over a coffee and pastry.

In the Wairarapa we want you to feel at home, take it down a notch, be pampered and enjoy the rural pace of life. There's lots to discover this summer or you can do nothing much at all.

On this website you'll find visitor information on: wineries and olive groves in Martinborough, shopping and dining in Greytown, gardens in Carterton, family events in Masterton, heritage in Featherston and fishing and surfing at Castlepoint, Riversdale and Ngawi.

And because you can't see it all in a day, our accommodation section has wonderful places to stay. Choose a cottage, a world-class lodge, a family motel or a welcoming bed & breakfast.

We look forward to seeing you at our place, the Wairarapa this summer. Be sure to bring a hat and your sun screen!
