Boulders the size of houses! You can even kayak the Boulders on Wairere Boulder valley! 1-3hr hikes. Highland cattle (the oldest breed in the world)

The Wairere Nature Park is a 143ha (353 acres) farm and native bush setting for the many house-sized boulders that give Wairere Boulders its name. These very large basalt (volcanic) boulders are heavily fluted by the special conditions found at Wairere. This geology is globally significant, and according to some experts, unique. While the Boulders are spread throughout the property, many are concentrated in the Wairere river floor.

Well-marked walks of from one to three hours allow you to explore under, over, and around the boulders at your leisure while taking in the beautiful subtropical rainforest and cascading stream setting. While walking, keep an eye out for the endearing Scottish Highland Cattle and ‘black face' sheep in the adjacent paddocks. - wairereboulders.co.nz

In keeping with our environmentally sustainable ethos, we are an eco friendly, low impact campsite. We have toilets available and a shower. Although the river water is potable, it is discoloured by the natural bush tannins (from leaves) so we provide commercial spring water in the information centre for drinking, and stream water for cleaning etc at the sink bench in the camp ground.
