If you want to get away from it all then head to the Ruatiti Domain, located in the Ruatiti Valley, north of Raetihi. It is the only area in Ruapehu where freedom camping is permitted. Toilet facilities, tap water and BBQs are provided, although it is advised to boil drinking water. Perhaps best of all, there is no cell phone coverage! The Manganui o te ao is also a renowned river for fishing, so grab your rod, pack a picnic and don’t forget to tell someone when you’ll be back.
Keep your distance from other people.
Practicing social distancing is still essential. Only go to the beach if you are able to keep 6 feet or 2 meters away from others. Follow the instructions provided by your local health authorities. If your community has asked that you remain indoors and away from others, do so. Spending a day in any crowded place is the worst thing we can do for our most vulnerable right now and will counter our efforts to curb the virus’s spread.
