A small village, nestled between the sea and the hills, bounded to the north by Queen Elizabeth Park, but you’ll find lots to do here. Famous as a beach-holiday destination, we also have many walking and biking tracks, parks, friendly cafes and a pub, shops, the railway station museum, and the occasional pop-up surprise as well. Just past the shops on Beach Road you will find St Peter’s Hall — home to great live gigs, movie nights, monthly markets, and the community bike library.

This popular, unique trail will appeal if you are of average-to-high fitness, have at least half a day to spare – and enjoy a sense of exhilaration! Part of New Zealand’s nationwide Te Araroa Trail, the walk has already become legendary. The well-signposted path may make this track appear easy, but it’s important to be prepared as it has its challenges (it’s not called the ‘Stairway to Heaven’ for nothing). There are more than 400 steps to negotiate, plus a skinny trail with a large drop-off below you. If you take your time and have plenty of stops, you’ll find it a rewarding outdoor experience. With the height gain, the expansive views of ocean, sky and Kāpiti Island the views are utterly stunning. Towards the top, some people may experience vertigo from peering down the steep cliff-face. The railway line, road and rocks lie far below; you may feel like you could easily be blown off the side, especially on a windy day (not unusual in these parts). But don’t worry, the steps and track are sturdy and safe. Carry a light day-pack with lots of water, snacks, sunblock, a mobile phone and warm, windproof clothes.
