Manawatu has be been described as flat & boring. It may be that they have never traveled to the northern section of Manawatu lying west of the Ruahine Ranges, which divide Manawatu from Hawke's Bay. 
​In fact,  traveling north from Feilding to Kimbolton it is only takes 20 minutes to realise that there is more to Manawatu than one realises.
Similarly, when travelling north of Ashhurst towards the Pohangina Valley & on towards Apiti, the scenery can only be described as ever changing & beautiful.  
Rangiwahia, at the  most northern section of Manawatu, was once described in a 1906 Paper’s Past as follows:

“There are men in New Zealand soul hungering for the sight of something green, and yearning to be away from the grey flatness of things in general, who knock down enough in one red spree to do a trip around Rangiwahia and take in all its marvelous wonders and exquisite beauty spots.”
​
Do enjoy a selection of photos below taken around Rangiwahia and Apiti.
Hopefully you will be inspired to visit this area known as the touring route "The Iron Gates Experience".
