Living in the Wairarapa

 

Located in the lower North Island, the Wairarapa is home to around 40,000 people.

 

Contained within our region are world-renowned vineyards, spectacular mountains and forest attractions, wild and remote coastal areas as well as beautiful beaches, and burgeoning local industries.

 

Over summer, there is a series of cultural and sporting events which bring tourists and participants from all over New Zealand and beyond.  The new Genesis Recreation Centre in Masterton contains indoor and outdoor pools, a hydro slide and an indoor stadium.

 

Some of the many benefits of making your home in the Wairarapa include:

 

  • A wide variety of outdoor opportunities including beaches, wilderness, mountains and bush, countryside, nature reserves, lakes and rivers
