Great
things to do in the Wairarapa
Castlepoint,
45 minutes’ drive east of Masterton, in the northern Wairarapa,
is a land mellowed by the sea, a ruggedly gentle beachscape at ease
with nature’s moods.
Bikinis
don’t seem right here. It’s a place with poets, film directors,
Americans who farm, locals who know the sea and its food, commercial
fishing people battling quotas and fluctuating dollars.
There’s
a hint of flash houses appearing on the hills but thus far at least
they don’t bother the beautiful relief of white sand, rolling dunes,
breath-taking walkways and a lighthouse standing stoicly against
the march of time.
Lovers
could find their feet at Castlepoint. It’s that real.
