Found in the beautiful Rangitikei District is Mangaweka. Here is the Mangaweka Gallery & Homestay. It's been the perfect autumn day. Breathtakingly beautiful contryside, the leaves are turning gold whilst the fields are a vivid green & the sky the deepest blue. I think the Rangitiki district is the best kept secret. Below are a few of photos I took today at Mangaweka.
