Spectacular scenery and gourmet food – the Tora Coastal Walk has it all!

Honeycomb Rock is a spectacular outcrop on the Wairarapa coast, named for its remarkable cell-like weathered pattern.

Ocean Beach is across Lake Onoke from Lake Ferry but can be accessed down Western Lake Road from Featherston in about 40 minutes and from Martinborough in about 50 minutes. This part of the coast is close to one of the world’s top ranked lodges at Wharekauhau Country Estate.

The Putangirua Pinnacles is one of the most incredible walks in the Wairarapa.

The Martinborough Fair is the best craft fair in NZ, held twice each year.

Aorangi Forest Park is popular with recreational hunters and trampers and is about 50 minutes drive south of Martinborough. 

MOUNTAIN ALERTS should always be checked here before departing on a tramp into the mountains. Note that there isn't a specific Aorangi Forest Park forecast and this is the Tararua Forest Park link.

See some of the rarest aircraft in the world at Wings Over Wairarapa, a must see airshow held every two years in Masterton at Hood Aerodrome, Masterton.  

The Mt Holdsworth - Jumbo Circuit is a two to three day tramp to some of the best alpine tops travel in the Tararua Forest Park.

Totara Flats Hut is a beautiful setting where the Waiohine River and Totara Creek meet.

One of the most popular day trips in the park is the climb to Mountain House Shelter along the easy grade of the Gentle Annie Track.
