Discover Herbert & Waianakarua
Herbert is a small village surrounded by forest walks and mountain biking trails. There is also Glencoe Campsite – a lovely DOC managed space surrounded by bush with the river running below.
Just south of Herbert, the oldest stone bridge still in use on a New Zealand highway is found at Waianakarua and a historic mill house still sits beside this bridge and these days provides a venue, dining and accommodation facilities while the nearby Waianakarua River offers lovely swimming and picnic spots.
