See what’s going on in nearby Hawera. What’s 16 miles when you’ve got your very own car? The drive itself is half the fun! See the best sights starting with Hawera Water Tower, KD’s Elvis Presley Museum and Tawhiti Museum. Locals are also likely to point you toward New Plymouth, 20 miles away. If you can only find time for one attraction here, let it be Bowl of Brooklands. (But we’d also recommend Pukekura Park and Lake Mangamahoe.)
