Denniston Coalmining Historic Area

Historical landmark

👍👍 This was gorgeous! Incredible views, amazing history, stunning vegetation! I wish I had been able to spend more time here. I'd highly recommend reading up on the place before you go, just so that you have a better mental map, although it's still amazing without it! The drive up the Hill had a few c...

Bannockburn Sluicings Historic Reserve

Historical landmark

👍 You can choose from multiple tracks here as seen on the sign at the start of the track. The Bannockburn Sluicings Loop is a very exposed gravel track, bringing you across many areas where sluicing used to be done. It isn’t a Bush walk, or a lakeside walk. You see mainly rockfaces - not my first choi...

👍👍 What a neat place to stop for a short loop walk around Brunner Mune Historic Area. Lots of informative signs about the history around the track.

Riccarton House and Bush

Park

👍👍 Georgus wee spot with stunning markets. Really loved this. The markets have tons of options and lots of different food - including organic options if that's what you're into. Cute benches by the stream too. However, a few more coffee shops wouldn't go amiss!

Cave Rock / Tuawera

Historical landmark

👍 The rock has a small cave in which you can walk through. Even within the cave you have beautiful views of the ocean which makes for great photo opportunities. You can climb up the rock and admire the view from the top. The sunset is amazing from there and the spot is fun to hang out at. I'd recommen...
