Gentle Annie Highway

Reviewed By CliffJ24 - London, United Kingdom

Originally a Maori track but now a fully paved road. It travelling west to east the first half is rolling farm land with numerous sheep and cattle stations. The second half sees hillsides covered in native forest and a road with lots of twists and turns - superb scenery. There are no petrol stations or cafes/restaurants along the road, so take a picnic and just soak in the stunning views. A great alternative route to travel between Taupo and Napier.

Blackberry Hill Farm

Straight out of a childhood storybook, the overgrown tracks weave their way through our 25 acre forest with its ever changing array of colours. Planted around 40 years ago, the small forest is planted with oak, liquid amber, atlas cedar, Himalayan cedar, Japanese mapple, redwood, macrocarpa, spruce, red alder, scotch pine and more. .

We were invited to take part in a traditional Maori welcome ceremony. The Maori elders welcomed us and we responded with a greeting in Welsh and a song.

Te Mata Peak

Reviewed By JMT_NZ - Auckland Central, New Zealand

Te Mata Peak is simply stunning. I've driven to the peak several times and it's a great experience to take in the wider Hawkes Bay. If you drive right to the top then it's suitable for people with impaired mobility although they need to be able to walk up a short steep gradient for the best views from the trig.

Clifton Station Wool World

Reviewed By BobWE

Set in the middle of the countryside is the Clifton Sheep Farm that is described as a working farm. The owner's provide a demonstration of sheep shearing and the sheep dogs rounding up and guiding the sheep. Also located on the property is a very old giant pig and a museum arrangement of old sheep farm implements. A great place for kids who are able to up close and personal with the farm's sheep, pig, and dogs. Across the street is the Clifton Cafe for a short break and tea or a lunch. The owners are very approachable, informative, and friendly. Highly recommended if you have not been to a sheep farm before.
