Highlights for travelers include the excellent restaurants, bars and cafes of its city, the surf and cafe scene at laid-back Raglan, and the Middle Earth vibe of the extremely popular Hobbiton film set near Matamata. You can also take a trip off the beaten track to Sanctuary Mountain Maungatautari - an ecological island and wildlife sanctuary.
