BY ROAD

State Highway 2 is the main route through the region. Travel north from Wellington or south from Hawke's Bay to come to the region.

Many tourists also choose to travel through Tararua on Route 52 which is the alternative road to State Highway 2 when travelling north - south. This journey takes in some of the region's spectacular rural scenery and friendly small town hospitality. This is also the access road to the region's untouched east coast beaches at Akitio and Herbertville. Route 52 can be accessed from Eketahuna in the south and Dannevirke in the north.

BY RAIL
