Just over Ballance Bridge sits a beautiful grassy clearing surrounded by native bush: the Ballance Domain.
The domain has a great little adventure playground making it ideal to keep the kids occupied while the family enjoys a spot of relaxation next to the Manawatu river.
It's now super easy to access thanks to a new walking track which winds through the bush and comes out next to the Bridge Cafe.
This is the perfect spot to experience the real Te Apiti, Manawatu Gorge and spend the day getting in touch with your inner outdoors-man while relaxing amongst the native bush.
