Holidays in Ararata

Awesome! Your leave's been approved. Now all that's left to do is say hasta la vista to your boss and book your trip to Ararata!

It lies 200 kilometres to the north of Wellington, the national capital of New Zealand.

What could be more indulgent than listening to the sounds of the local bird life beside the water? Plan an outing to Castlecliff Beach or South Beach for a great day out.

Go beyond Ararata and you'll enjoy some wonderful natural sights. Just 35 kilometres away, Egmont National Park is a brilliant place to spend some time in the fresh air. We also recommend Matemateaonga Track Trailhead, 35 kilometres away from Ararata.

The snow-covered mountains of Turoa Ski Area and Manganui Ski Area will tempt powder hounds. Grab your ski gear and hone your technique on the thrilling trails.

Into stopping by the Victoria Park Memorial and the Stratford Golf Course? They're near the centre of Eltham, 14 kilometres to the northwest. Alternatively, you could head to Hawera. It's 16 kilometres to the southwest of Ararata and popular for Tawhiti Museum and King Edward Park.

Plan on going to Stratford? This destination is only 20 kilometres to the northwest. If you're staying here a while, get a map and circle the Te Kapua Park Racecourse, the Taranaki Pioneer Village and the Percy Thomson Gallery. Also consider stopping in at King Edward Park and the Taranaki Electricty Trust Kings Theatre.

Ready to chew, nibble, chomp, gnaw and sip your way through Taranaki? A world of scrumptious flavours awaits you here, so slip into your stretchiest jeans and bon appétit!

Seafood and pork are just a couple of typical ingredients in many dishes here. If you don't have an appetite for them already, you will by the end of your visit!

When in Ararata, eat like the locals do. That means tucking into a plate of whitebait or hāngi (traditional Maori meat and vegetables), a couple of the area's most distinctive dishes.

If a life without dessert is not a life you'd like to imagine, you should definitely introduce your palate to hokey pokey (honeycomb-vanilla ice cream). This sweet treat sums up the area in just one bite.

A perfect drop of wine can complete a delicious meal, and the favourite local drops can't be missed. Syrah and chardonnay are the top picks here.

It might be time to say goodbye, but it needn't be forever. Why not save your spare New Zealand dollars for a return trip to this attractive region?

With some preparation, making your way to Wellington International Airport (WLG), the nearest airport, shouldn't be too difficult. It's just 210 kilometres south of the centre of Ararata.
