Carterton · Carterton

Carterton calls itself New Zealand's daffodil capital, and every spring the Daffodil Festival paints the Wairarapa town yellow. Its High Street mixes long-standing rural businesses with newer makers and food spots as Wellington commuters settle along the rail line. Stonehenge Aotearoa, a working astronomical observatory in the paddocks nearby, is one of the region's quirkier attractions.
