Contained within our region are world-renowned vineyards, spectacular mountain and forest attractions, wild and remote coastal areas as well as beautiful unspoiled beaches, and burgeoning local industries.
Over summer, there is a series of cultural and sporting events which bring tourists and participants from all over New Zealand and beyond. The new Genesis Recreation Centre in Masterton contains indoor and outdoor pools, a hydro slide and an indoor stadium.
Some of the many benefits of making your home in the Wairarapa include:
A wide variety of outdoor opportunities including beaches, wilderness, mountains and bush, countryside, nature reserves, lakes and rivers 
Clean air and fresh water, straight from the tap
The best of both worlds, a rural lifestyle with proximity to educational, cultural and entertainment facilities in Wellington (capital city)
A cheap cost of living, including very reasonably priced housing
