Papatowai

The unassuming small town of Papatowai is surrounded by bush and located on the water’s edge. It really is blessed with nature’s bounty. Bays and beaches lie either side of the estuary and the surrounding bush puts on a colourful spectacle when the rich red flowers of the rata explode at the start of the summer. A ridiculous quantity of walking tracks throughout this area mean days here are never dormant – unless you want them to be.
