There is something happening for the entire family over this family-orientated weekend.

Casual activities will be scattered around the gazebo area where young can challenge the older generations to a round… it might be Cornhole or Ladder Golf to name a few, or a hit on the wall at the tennis courts using a racket and ball supplied. Maybe Whack a Rat is more your thing… There is also a great flying fox and playground to entertain…

Waihi Gorge is up the road for those that like a fresh dip in the mornings.

Pets are welcome, on leads, but not around social areas please. Going for a walk with your pet? Ask someone to join you!
