Unique and unexpected in Manawatū

UNIQUE AND UNEXPECTED IN MANAWATŪ

Manawatū is full of innovators, hobbyists and passionproject managers, and this spirit bleeds into a sprinkling of the somewhat quirky and surprising throughout our region. Squeeze one of these unexpected gems into your next visit!

Ever wanted to walk through time? Heritage Walk offers just that! Right on SH1, in Sanson (look for the Woolshed Cafe), you’ll be able to enjoy an audio-guided tour of seven heritage houses. Each house originates from a different decade, ranging from 1860-1960, and absolutely everything inside does too!

Heading near Rangiwahia? Ian McKean Pinetum offers the largest collection of conifers in the southern hemisphere - home to more than 1500 trees across 14 hectares with walking tracks and picnic areas throughout.

More than a stunning wedding venue, at Makoura Lodge you’ll find purpose-built 4WD training course where practical courses are completed. Don’t need an off-road certificate? Enjoy a 4x4 Hill Country Safari where you can enjoy the adventure from the back seat.

Take part in a centuries-old British tradition at the luxurious Country Road High Tea. It’s a symphony of perfect treats and vibes in a stunning country setting.

Keen golfer? Make your next tee-off at Rangatira Golf Club, a multi-terraced course overlooking the Rangitīkei River. An iconic electric cable car runs from the lower terrace to the clubrooms - the only one of its kind in New Zealand.

Join a weekly tour of the historically significant Feilding Sale Yards, once considered one of the largest in the southern hemisphere. Livestock sales still occur weekly and are still an important date in the calendar.
