For the kids – there are plenty of parks within walking distance from The Woolshed Apartment 5. In the warmer months they will love the local family water fun park, ‘Splash Planet’, and for the bird lovers, Cape Kidnappers, with the world's largest mainland bird colonies.

Further afield, a 25-minute drive away, the City of Napier’s promenade boasts a huge selection of activities, Mini-golf, a skate park, enclosed playground areas, BMX tracks and the National Aquarium of New Zealand, are all within walking distance of each other.

Twenty two kms away is the Art Deco city of Napier, which was rebuilt after the devastating 1931 Earthquake. The city is a preserved moment in time with its eye-catching buildings.

Two golden sandy beaches are also just a short drive away. Ocean Beach and Waimarama are popular with both surfers and families and the underdeveloped and un-spoilt coastline is well worth a visit for those who love the water.
