 –  Continue to Kerikeri where you will be pampered with great hospitality and great food. Enjoy citrus fruit from the adjoining sun-drenched orchard. Visit NZ’s oldest house, Kemp House, and the Stone Store set on the Kerikeri River.
 –  Cycle over lush volcanic pasture to Waimate North, the site of an early mission-house and church. Relax in a real NZ farm-house and enjoy beautiful rural surroundings.
