Godley Head Coastal Walk and Taylors Mistake Loop
This easy stunning coastal walk starts from the Taylors Mistake beach carpark. The track is very easy and well maintained and the views all around are beautiful. The loop itself took us just on 2 hours, we were unable to stop and look at the WWII building as they are under maintenance and are fenced

Waimate
We drove up to the Whitehorse memorial instead of walking it which was a shame because it looks to be a fun walk. The view of the horse is actually better from the town, up close its pretty old and needs a water blast and repaint
Mt. Nimrod

Marakopa Falls / Mangapohue Natural Bridge
Marakopa Falls is an easy acces waterfall and worth the drive from Waitomo Caves! We have seen some impressive waterfalls in the North Island but for ease of access (450m walk) and the scale of the waterfall this may be the winner for me
