Masterton
is located in the Wairarapa region of New Zealand, an hour
north of Wellington. You can see working farms, country gardens,
and wild coastline complete with seal colonies.
You'll
be awed by the region's unique natural heritage. The rugged
Tararua Mountains to the west and the wild Pacific Ocean to
the east create a sense of isolation and wonder. The untamed
coastline from Palliser Bay in the south to Akitio in the
north is rich in Maori mythology. Discover New Zealand's rarest
birds at Mt Bruce National Wildlife Centre, or watch seals
at Cape Palliser where the famous Maori explorer 'Kupe' landed.
A full range of classic kiwi adventures are on offer from
jet boating to hot air ballooning, from superb fishing to
surfing. The Wairarapa region's wine and food make it a treasure
trove for gourmets. Diners can sample anything from venison
to mushrooms, berry fruit to crayfish, eels to olives. Discover
the wine the world raves over in Martinborough Wine Village,
famed for its international award-winning Pinot Noir. |
