Fodor's Expert Review Tararua Forest Park

For enjoyable bushwalks in gorgeous forests laced with streams, come to Tararua Forest Park. The Mount Holdsworth area at the east end of the park is popular for tramping. If you're in the mood for an alfresco lunch, the park also has picnic facilities. To get here turn off State Highway 2 onto Norfolk Road 2 km (1.2 miles) south of Masterton. Follow Norfolk Road for 16 km (10 miles) to the Mount Holdsworth Campsite.
