Summer with the Mayors: Waitame District Mayor Craig Rowley - Holiday Breakfast

Only a couple hours' drive from Mount Cook is Waimate, home to wallabies, the rocky coast, and native bush.  

The district has beautiful campsites on the shores of Lake Aviemore, the perfect place to spend a day, the night, or even the whole summer. 

Waimate District mayor, Craig Rowley, told Tim Dower that they’ve seen a real resurgence in rural New Zealand, as kiwis from across the country look for a different lifestyle.  

If you’re looking for a quieter, more laidback vibe for your holiday or even your life, Waimate might have what you’re after.  

Certainly has less traffic.
