The Carterton district is home to some of New Zealand’s finest walks and reserves. There’s something for the whole family to enjoy – from toddler-friendly bush walks at Fensham Reserve to multi-day tramps across the Tararua Ranges.

Check out the 40 meter high swing bridge at the Waiohine Gorge, spend a night camping at Mt Holdsworth, or walk through Carter’s Reserve – a rare piece of original Wairarapa Plains forest.
