Family fun

For family fun, head to Marine Gardens, where the kids can let loose at the playground, cool off at the splash pad during summer, and hop aboard the miniature railway for a train ride on Sundays.

Cook your own lunch over one of the free BBQs or grab some fish and chips from the village. With plenty of sunny and shady spots, the gardens offer the perfect place to eat, relax and soak up the day.

Enjoy dinner and a show

Raumati offers plenty of great spots to dine and unwind. Enjoy a cocktail while soaking in the sounds of local music, from laid-back vibes to upbeat bands.

Dine at one of the tempting selection of restaurants, with options ranging from fresh seafood and international cuisine. After your meal, head to Te Raukura ki Kāpiti, where you can catch a live show—be it comedy, music, theatre, or dance.
