About the Remutaka Range
Photos of the Remutaka Range in the Wellington region
The Remutaka Range comprises the southern part of the largest chain of mountains on New Zealand’s North Island. This chain of mountains runs from the Gisborne Region to the south coast in the Wellington Region. Additionally, it forms the boundary between Wellington and the Wairarapa.
Turakirae Head, located on the southern coast of the North Island, marks the extreme southern end of the range, while the northern boundary is marked by the Remutaka Hill Road. The Tararua Range lies beyond the latter boundary.
The western side of the range is lush due to the moist air rising and producing precipitation, while the eastern side is warmer and drier, making it suitable for the thriving wine industry on the plains below.
The range is home to temperate beech and rainforests, as well as alpine vegetation at higher altitudes. There are numerous bush trails that showcase the diverse flora and are accompanied by rivers such as the Orongorongo River and Wainuiomata River.
Although the Remutaka Range is not well-known to international tourists, locals consider it a destination for bushwalking and to escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. Hunting is allowed in the bush, with the exception of the Remutaka Forest Park located in the Lower Hutt suburb of Wainuiomata.
