Wairarapa is about 90 minutes drive north of Wellington. The region is bordered by the rugged Tararua Mountains to the west and the wild Pacific Ocean to the east. Known for its hot, languid summers, the Wairarapa is a relaxing place for a refined country break away from the pressures of urban life.

In and around Martinborough wine village, famed for its award-winning pinot noir, you’ll discover a host of welcoming vineyards. Continue the trail through Gladstone and Masterton.

Historic Greytown is New Zealand’s first inland town. It has retained its delightful colonial village character with careful preservation of the many wooden Victorian buildings. A leisurely stroll reveals a superb range of specialty shops, where you can purchase antiques, crafts, gifts and artworks. Take a break at one of Greytown's excellent cafes or restaurants or check in to one of the many boutique bed and breakfast establishments for a taste of a charming bygone era.

But don’t assume that the Wairarapa is all about taking it easy. Adventure activities of every kind can be found here - from rafting, caving and rap jumping to 4WD safaris and bungy jumping. And if you want to get acquainted with some of New Zealand’s rarest inhabitants, head for the Mount Bruce National Wildlife centre. Set amid a pocket of ancient rainforest, this centre is where the New Zealand Department of Conservation runs its captive breeding program for threatened bird species. Visitors can take a walk with a professional conservation officer through natural bush aviaries. Beyond Masterton lies the wild, dramatic scenery of Castle Point beach, with a lighthouse that looks across the sea towards Antarctica.
