We also have Putara, approx. 30 mins from Eket\u0101huna\u2019s township. Come and explore the amazing bushwalks and tramping tracks that will lead you into the magnificent Tararua Ranges. You can do a short walk, a full day\u2019s tramp or even \u201cgo bush\u201d for a night or two, or if you are into Trail Running try the Tararua Traverse<\/a>.

Call into the Information Centre and ask about local farm visits, milk some cows, maybe help shear a few sheep or even just feed some chickens and collect the eggs for breakfast. And depending on what time of year a wild pig hunt, deer shoot or duck shooting trips could be arranged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
