Waitomo Glow Worm Caves receiving over 2 million visitors per year.
Tramping through the many reserves.... there are alot of bush reserves in the area with good walking tracks through them that are available for public use at anytime. Pirongia mountain dominates the area and has alot of walks that can be enjoyed.
The black sands of the west coast are unique and at low tide a spade is all that is required to reveal the hotwater in the sand. Relaxing in your own personal hot pool is an experience many of the visitors to Rangimarie have really enjoyed.
Maungatautari Ecological Reserve has been pest proofed to protect the native flora and wildlife. It is extensively tracked for the public to enjoy the bush as it was in pre-European times.
Otorohanga Kiwi House is well worth a visit to see the Kiwi in its natural habitat as well as other native wildlife.
Rangimarie Bush Retreat is approx 45 km from the National Fieldays site at Mystery Creek.
