Aside from the roses and the river, Te Awamutu does not run short of places of interest for tourists like you. There is the Te Awamutu Museum where exhibits allow you to connect with history and culture. If nature is your thing, you can go to Lake Ngaroto and hike around its trails while taking in some of the most beautiful flora and fauna you will ever see.
