Farmers Market is held on the last Sunday of the month except for December which is the third Sunday and our Christmas market. We have inside and outside stalls and run for 12 months of the year. We have a wide variety of craft from local talented crafts people, our sausage sizzle is run by the local Fire Department volunteers - we love to support the local community and any profits made by the Market are going towards a defibrillator for the Pirongia community.

(3 hr/2.6  km return) From the car park off Kakepuku Mountain Rd, a well-formed track leads to a historic pā site and viewing tower. A broad track leads up to a lower viewing platform then follows up through regenerating forest to the edge of the historic reserve. No mountain bikes beyond this point. The track narrows, climbing up on steps past a viewpoint, to the pā site and view tower. The view tower has interpretation panels about the site and excellent views

(1 hr/2 km loop) From the car park at Te Kauri Lodge, carefully cross the road (SH 31) to the Manuka Track and descend to the swingbridge. Take the Waikuku Track alongside the stream to a bridge and follow signs for the Sheep Track. Just before the bridge there is a junction with a track that leads to a camping site and nice picnic area. Back on the main track take the Sheep Track up to a ridge with views out to Kawhia and Pirongia, and complete the circuit back to the car park. There are a number of other short walks and day walks in this reserve.

Piripiri Cave offers the chance to soak in the majesty of a cave in one of the few free caves open to the general public in the area. A short walk takes you up through native bush and past some limestone outcrops, and then descends a short stair case to the cave entrance. A platform at the bottom allows you to stand and marvel at the size of the cave and the fragile ecosystems within.

Mangapohue Natural Bridge is a highlight on the scenic drive from Waitomo Village to Marokopa. The track is pushchair-friendly and follows a boardwalk through an impressive limestone gorge that takes you underneath a natural bridge. The 17 m high limestone arch, which spans the Mangapohue Stream, is all that remains of an ancient cave system. From here the track becomes stepped and passes under the bridge giving a superb view of the ceiling studded with stalactite-like formations and an excellent view back down the gorge. The track continues for over farmland. Follow the marker posts around to the right and up the hill where you can see 25 million year old fossilised oysters exposed in the
