Map of Wellsford

Wellsford almost feels like it is in the centre of Rodney. It is the fork in the road for travellers heading north, south and west. It can be found at the junction of SH1 and SH16.

While Wellsford is the perfect place to rest up for an evening meal and a bed for the night, plenty of visitors extend their stay to enjoy everything this wonderful area has on its doorstep.

Awash with tremendous accommodation options and food for every budget and taste, Wellsford and its friendly people make the area feel like a home from home the moment you arrive.

Once refreshed and rested you can spend the day at the nearby museum, browse local shops offering a range of interesting and unique gifts, and make new friends at the local golf and squash club.

Venture a little further out and you could find yourself horse riding at Pakiri Beach, surfing at Te Arai Point or relaxing at Port Albert which is just a stone's throw from the old Minniesdale Chapel.

Wellsford is the perfect place to break your journey when touring north.
