Round up the family and head out to Motukarara for a relaxed Easter Monday, with plenty to keep everyone entertained.

Public entry is free, and the day is all about easy, open-air vibes. Bring your crew, pack a gazebo and the deck chairs and settle in for a classic country day out. It’s BYO in the public areas, with plenty of space to make a day of it.

There’s heaps to keep the kids entertained, along with food, music and that laid-back Banks Peninsula atmosphere that makes this one a favourite.

• Free entry with gates open from 10am
