The Wairarapa is the perfect rural retreat, an easy drive from Wellington, into a land favoured by natural beauty and resources.
There are working farms, country gardens, vineyards and a wild coastline with national park and seal colonies - all framed by the Tararua Mountains - and adventures abound, from hot-air ballooning to jet boating, fishing and surfing.
Carterton is renowned as the Daffodil Capitol, and Greytown feautures a complete street of original Victorian architecture.
The area's wine and gourmet trails offer everything from this bountiful region, from mushrooms, crayfish, venison, eels, berry fruit and olives. Martinborough Wine Village is famous for it's award-winning Pinot Noir as well as samples from 33 local vineyards.
