Geraldine
Nestled at the foot of rolling countryside and bisected by the tranquil Waihi River, Geraldine is a picturesque village that exudes charm. Just five minutes from town, you'll discover a rare remnant of lowland podocarp native forest, offering breathtaking views over the plains and mountains.
In Geraldine itself, a vibrant community of local artists and craftspeople showcases their wares, and you can indulge in a variety of fine local foods. If you are interested in cars, then a must-visit is the Geraldine Vintage Car and Machinery Museum, home to over 1,400 exhibits from the South Canterbury area. Here, you can marvel at over 100 tractors, 30 vintage and veteran cars, an exceptionally rare Spartan biplane, farm machinery, hot air and stationary engines, and much more.
