With some awesome day trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to enjoy all that Cambridge, 20 miles away, has to offer. Explore the area starting with Cambridge Raceway, Cambridge Farmers’ Market and Cambridge Museum. Waitomo Caves is another terrific option. It’s 25 miles away and home to tons of fun things to see and do. Waitomo Glowworm Caves, Altura Gardens & Wildlife Park and Aranui Cave are only the start.
