Te Mata Peak towers 400 metres above sea level and offers panoramic views of the Ruahine, Kaweka and Maungaharuru ranges and Cape Kidnappers.
According to Maori legend, Te Mata hillscape is a sleeping giant, with the hill being the body of Maori Chief, Te Mata O Rongokako. The volcano Ruapehu is also visible in the distance. There are a number of short walking trails through the Te Mata Peak Trust Park (approximately one hour each way).
