In a prime location between Tongariro and Whanganui National Parks, this laidback little town is the perfect base for year-round outdoor adventures.

Sitting around 800 metres above sea level, this almost-alpine village commands spectacular views of across the volcanic plateau towards the mountain trio of Tongariro, Ngauruhoe and Ruapehu.

Come summer or winter, the two national parks on its doorstep are major drawcards.

The town is a convenient setting off point for adventures in Whanganui National Park, including canoe trips on its mighty river and rides on the Mountains to Sea Cycle Trail.
