Rocky lookout is part of Mt Holdsworth in the Tararua Forest Park located on Norfolk road, about 15-20 minutes out of Masterton. When you are a Rocky lookout you feel like you’re at the top of the world!
There are loads of tracks you can walk throughout this forest so depending on your fitness ability and how long you want to walk, all of them are incredible and give you great views. They can vary from a couple for hours return trip or you can do the longer treks which will take a couple of days and you can stay in the huts located at the top.
There is also a campsite located at the bottom of the forest before all of the treks with great facilities and in a beautiful setting.
