Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Upper Moutere?
The best area to stay in Upper Moutere is directly within the Moutere Valley itself, particularly around the central Moutere Highway.

This area is characterised by rolling hills, orchards, vineyards, and small rural communities. The Moutere Highway is the main thoroughfare, connecting the various artisan studios, wineries, and eateries scattered throughout the valley. It's a tranquil setting, ideal for those looking to experience rural New Zealand.

Couples looking for a relaxing escape will find the Moutere Valley perfect. Many accommodations here offer private settings with stunning views, often with easy access to local wineries for tastings and farm-to-table dining experiences. It's an excellent base for unwinding and enjoying the region's produce.

For travellers interested in art and local crafts, staying near the villages of Upper Moutere or Sarau (formerly Pughs Lagoon) provides convenient access to numerous artist studios and galleries.
When is the best time to go to Upper Moutere?
The best time to go to Upper Moutere is during the shoulder seasons of autumn (March to May) and spring (September to November), or the peak summer months (December to February).

For those who enjoy warmer weather and outdoor activities, summer is ideal. You'll find long, sunny days superb for exploring the local vineyards, cycling the Tasman's Great Taste Trail, or visiting the nearby beaches like Kaiteriteri. However, this is also the busiest time, so booking accommodation and popular activities well in advance is essential.

Spring offers mild temperatures and fewer crowds, making it a great time for couples seeking a relaxed escape. The orchards are in blossom, and the landscape is lush. Many wineries are open for tastings, and you can enjoy gentle walks through the countryside without the summer heat.

Autumn provides a beautiful display of changing colours across the vineyards and hillsides, along with comfortable temperatures for exploring. It's an excellent time for food and wine enthusiasts, as many local producers celebrate the harvest season.
