A wine village packed with charm

Martinborough is surrounded by more

than twenty cellar doors, most within easy

walking or cycling distance of each other.

Hire a bike and check them out.

Featherston’s history is strongly linked

to the railway – these days it’s the spot to

rest and refuel after biking the Rimutaka

Cycle Trail. Stock up at C’est Cheese for deli

delights. Featherston’s Booktown festival

celebrates literature in many ways.

Good looking Greytown is a Victorian

gem. Stop for good food, great coffee

and sensational Schoc chocolate. Retail

therapy in the distinctive stores is highly

recommended. See the history of the town

revealed at Cobblestones Museum.

Carterton has art in its very heart – see

it on panels around the town as you

browse vintage and collectable stores.

Don’t miss Paua World and for artisan bread

and pastries head to Clareville Bakery.

Masterton’s Queen Elizabeth Park is full of fun things to do. Check out Henley Lake, golf courses, a golf driving range, indoor pools and movie theatres. Manukura, the white Kiwi is a close neighbour at Pukaha Mount Bruce.
