Kakepuku Track
4.0/5
I love this walk.
It is used by a lot of locals as exercise. Amazing 360 degree views of Pirongia, Tongariro National Park, Te Aroha and if you are lucky Taranaki and more.

Harwoods Hole
4.0/5
Fine walk, can't look down the Hole but it has a great echo.
The outlook was my favourite though, stunning views. Entrance road was challenging for my 2wd van.

Kerosene Creek
4.5/5
Rough gravel road to get there but the setting of Kerosene Creek is totally worth it.
Great spot for a free hot bath.

Kawhia Hot Springs (Te Puia)
5.0/5
Remote hot water beach, Poke your toes in the sand until you find a hot spot and start digging.
I have been there several times, not many people know about it.

Waitomo Walkway
5.0/5
Free walk.
Millions of glowworms. Well formed track. Go there just before it is completely dark otherwise it is hard to find the entrance. Real dark - great for shooting stars and the milky way too!

They're amazing, very friendly and clearly putting all their love in this little campsite. Fully equipped kitchen, great lounge, hot showers without coins and for those not camping; bunk beds. We paid $16 for 2 people and couldn't get over how cheap it was for the value we got. Thanks Diane!
