South Wairarapa District Council
The Wairarapa is a lush, green and unique region located in the south east corner of the North Island of New Zealand. Wairarapa is just over one hour from Wellington City, which is the capital of New Zealand, making Wairarapa an extremely accessible destination for all.
The Wairarapa region is made up of 5 main townships, Featherston, Martinborough, Greytown, Carterton and Masterton, all with very distinct identities.
The coastal areas are made up of Castlepoint, Riversdale and Palliser/Ngawi/Tora.
The Wairarapa is sophisticatedly rural and offers a uniquely breathtaking location for all to enjoy.
Climate:
Our region has a temperate climate, yet distinct seasons (see also our Weather Stations page).
Summer — from December to February — is generally hot and dry with day time temperatures often around 30°C (90°F).
Autumn — from March to May — is still characterised by warm days but colder nights. It's vintage (harvest) in our Wairarapa vineyards, and the trees and gardens have excellent autumn colour.
Winter — from June to August — is a great time for walking, with often crisp, clear, frosty nights with the day warming up by 10am. Superb views of snow on the Tararua Mountains.
Spring — from September to November — tends to be warm, green and breezy.
