With some awesome road trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to soak up everything that Stratford, 25 miles away, has to offer. Soak up the sights starting with Te Popo Gardens, King Edward Park and Stratford Golf Course. Don’t forget about Hawera either! Just 35 miles away, Hawera Water Tower, KD’s Elvis Presley Museum and Tawhiti Museum are essential stops here.
