About Wairarapa
| The Wairarapa Region offers contemporary country lifestyle, picturesque villages and award-winning Pinot Noir wines The Wairarapa is an intriguing region, one hour north of Wellington. Masterton may be the largest town (for humans as well as sheep – there are approximately 3 million woolly customers within a 16km radius) but Martinborough demands the most attention. This small community of less than 1,500 residents is home to 30 family-run wineries, all huddled round a village square. Throw in some beautiful boutique accommodation and you have all the ingredients for a romantic weekend getaway. Other highlights of the Wairarapa include Greytown (for its Victorian architecture and cafes) and Castlepoint (a popular surf spot with protected swimming and many walkways).
