Following the trail around to your right and on pass the Motorhome park and the local High School leads to a highlight of your journey awaiting at the Otorohanga Kiwi House, a haven for native wildlife enthusiasts.

Here, style meets tradition, offering you a chance to explore a range of quality clothing and accessories that reflect the essence of New Zealand's rugged country clothing scene.
