Graeme Ure Forestry Block

If you’re after somewhere genuinely quiet, this forestry block out on Waiwhero Road delivers. It’s the kind of place locals know about but rarely talk up — big trees, fresh air, and none of the crowds you’d find closer to town. Ngātīmoti is already pretty off the beaten track, and this spot leans right into that. Good for a wander with the kids or just getting out of the house without much fuss.
