This is a local wonder and an awesome park to enjoy. The owners only found it on their property because they were out trying to catch wild goats! There are thousands of rocks and some are more than 30m high. It's a good activity to do with kids because they can touch everything and it only takes a few hours to get through.

One of my favourite places in New Zealand. History, geological wonderland, awe inspiring, native bush and birds, boulders the size of buildings, peace, serenity, fresh air, wonderful owners, Rita & Felix, who are passionate about this natural wonder which is also baffling and amazing geologists the world over as they flock here to marvel at this natural national treasure. Said to be over 2.8 million years old....I won't give away much more. A must visit. Kiwi or tourist put this on your top 5 things to do in NZ. The drive here is remarkable. Take a packed lunch. Stop in to the Horeke Pub afterwards for a cold pint and some good pub grub, have a laugh with the locals and watch the sunset over the inlet. Truly unforgettable.

When a private property is opened up to the public, you know it contains something special. The Wairere Boulders are some of the most interesting rock formations you'll see in New Zealand. Native trees are sign posted along the walk to help you identify the various plantation. Walk out to the platform lookout, it's well worth the view.
