Built alongside the Hutt River, 32km north-east of
Wellington, this pleasant city lies at the base of the rugged Rimutaka Ranges. The ranges have many opportunities for outdoor pursuits, including hunting and hiking. There are excellent recreational facilities within the city, with golf courses, parks and reserves, many of which line the Hutt River. Maidstone Park and Trentham Memorial Park are the main reserves while Trentham Racecourse is a drawcard for racegoers.
Further afield there is access to many tranquil bush and
riverside retreats, including Akatarawa Forest, Kaitoke Regional Park and Karapoti Valley.
Staglands Wildlife Park in Akatarawa Valley has birds and animals in a beautiful natural setting. Of historical interest are the museum at Golders Cottage and the
Silverstream Steam Railway, where you can ride on a vintage steam train. There is also good trout fishing in the surrounding region.
