Tips from locals
Fabulous walk from Mill Street up to the Centre of New Zealand through the bush. Enjoy the walk and then revel in the views across Tasman Bay.
You'll be standing at the very centre of NZ and there are spectacular views in all directions. Best done in sneakers as it's quite steep in places but well worth the slog up the hill! Sunrise and sunset here is gorgeous - just don't forget your torch (provided on request).
It is a bit of a walk, but you get an amazing view and a real point of reference with the visual guides. It's nice to be in the trees and hills so close to town.
