The tour begins with a walk through a grove of ancient New Zealand native trees. There are many flowering shrubs and trees in the garden. Climbing roses drape over old post and rail fences and old machinery feature as pieces of art throughout the garden. The old cowshed and stables are filled with interesting "treasures" which trace the early farming years. Walnut, hazel, chestnut, pine nut, fruit and citrus trees feature in the garden and nearby orchard. Excess produce is made into jams and chutneys. These are sold at the gardens, along with the walnuts and hazelnuts. There are many special spots in the garden for photographs. The garden is very popular for wedding ceremonies and photographs. Our Animals: In a paddock adjacent to the garden there is a special area set aside for visitors to interact with the animals. The central lane allows visitors to walk through the pet sheep, miniature horses, alpacas, and donkeys. All the animals like to be patted and look forward to being given a treat or two. There are many photo opportunities with the animals and Neil and Greg will ensure that no one misses out on a truly unique kiwi experience! About Neil & Greg: Neil is the fifth generation of his family to call Greytown home. Neil worked predominately in the public and local government sector both in New Zealand and overseas. He has lived in South Africa, England, Austria, India, and Singapore. Greg is a fifith generation kiwi and his mother was born in nearby Martinborough. He established one of Wairarapa's first commerical olive groves and imported the first olive press to the Wairarapa from Italy. Greg has owned and operated exclusive Bed & Breakfast lodges in New Zealand..

A total of 725 completed forms were returned. We would like to thank passengers and train-staff for your help with this survey. A summary of the results are shown below.

A further 13% of passengers live in Greytown and 6% in Martinborough. Sixty-eight percent of passengers travel to the station by car (57% parking their car at the station and 11% being dropped off). A further 23% of passengers walk or cycle to the station and 7% use the bus.

  • Attachment 1 Wellington Regional Rail Strategic Direction 2020.Pdf
    WELLINGTON REGIONAL RAIL STRATEGIC DIRECTION 2020 Where we’ve come from Rail has been a key component of the Wellington Region’s transport network for more than 150 years. The first rail line was built in the 1870s between Wellington and Wairarapa. What is now known as the North Island Main Trunk followed in the 1880s, providing a more direct route to Manawatū and the north. Two branch lines were later added. The region has grown around the rail network, as villages have turned into towns and cities. Much of it was actively built around rail as transit-oriented development. Rail has become an increasingly important way for people to move about, particularly to Wellington’s CBD, and services and infrastructure have been continuously expanded and improved to serve an ever-growing population. The region is a leader in per capita use of public transport.

Accordingly it is inappropriate that reports should be used to assign fault or blame or determine liability, since neither the investigation nor the reporting process has been undertaken for that purpose. The Commission may make recommendations to improve transport safety. The cost of implementing any recommendation must always be balanced against its benefits. Such analysis is a matter for the regulator and the industry. These reports may be reprinted in whole or in part without charge, providing acknowledgement is made to the Transport Accident Investigation Commission. Report 04-125 collision between an over-dimensioned road load and rail over road bridge No.98 on Opaki-Kaiparoro Road, between Eketahuna and Mangamahoe 2 October 2004 Abstract On Saturday 2 October 2004, at about 1015, an exhaust outlet at the top of a bulldozer being carried on a road trailer collided with the underside and damaged rail over road bridge No.98, located at 117.95 km on the Wairarapa Line, about 9 km south of Eketahuna.
