Nestled at the foot of the rolling Hunters Hills, Waimate is a
classic New Zealand rural town. You'll find everything here,
from unique Edwardian architecture to tranquil bush walks, salmon
fishing and the distinction of being home to New Zealand's largest
wallabies!
This diverse area has an outstanding range of forest, mountain
and alpine tracks, perfect for bushwalking or mountain biking. The
Waitaki Lakes offer a multitude of opportunities for water-based
recreation. This district can provide a peaceful atmosphere
for a holiday and a range of activities, from heritage walks to
farmyard visits or hunting.
