Adorable little town off the beaten track.
In the midst of farm land, near a school with a playground. Great little covered sitting area. Right next to the road, but not a very busy place so we hardly heard anyone. 2 flush toilets, lights on at night. Lots of mountain biking trails in the area. Got to see a bunch of Wera birds who were fun to watch. Kiwis in the area. Apparently there is a friendly boar in the farm next to the site, but we didn't see him. Lovely little site
