Geraldine sits at the foot of rolling countryside and is bisected by the tranquil Waihi River. Just 5 minutes from town is a rare remnant of lowland podocarp native forest with breathtaking views over plains and mountains while in the picturesque town you will find many local artists and craftsman's wares for sale plus some fine local foods.
