Russell is a very short drive, or you can walk. It is one of the oldest places in NZ, and is also known as Kororareka. It was once known as the "Hell hole of the Pacific", but is now a beautiful and tranquil seaside village

Waitangi is often called the birth place of New Zealand, and is a must do trip. There is a very informative tour that you can take (I recommend going with a guide as they are incredibly knowledgeable).

One of the oldest surviving buildings in Russell, with a beautiful garden and a French Cafe. You can take a tour, and learn how books were made, by hand. A must do.

Walks

This is a great nature trail, entirely set up by the Tapeka community. The entrance is just over Tapeka Road from the house, and along the walk there is information about native plants and creatures. A great one to do if you have kids.

This is a lovely walk up to the old Pa site, and gives amazing views over Tapeka and Russell. It's moderately challenging (I wouldn't take my elderly mum) but good for young kids and teenagers,
