Aroha Nui is a typical Kiwi 'sleepout/bach' situated on a 5 acre plot on the edge of the town of Carterton, in the Wairarapa.
The SH2, which passes through the town is a main arterial route from Auckland in the north; (you may have stopped off at Lake Taupo or Rotarua, visited the beautiful eastern coastal regions of the Coromandel and Hawkes Bay already,) but now you need to pause and visit the many scenic reserves in the Carterton district before driving on to Wellington. Mount Holdsworth, Fensham and Waiohine Gorge are just a few worth experiencing but the Patuna Chasm is a definite must for the adventurous.
The area is also a hot-spot for events at all times of the year; agricultural shows, the Wairarapa balloon festival, the Golden Shears competiton and the Martinborough classic car festival to name but a few.
