If you’re driving past Marton over summer, you’ll want to get lost in the amazing maize maze. Exercise your legs and your brain at the same time!
As the largest town in the Rangitikei district, Marton has all the shops and services you’d expect of a rural centre. Traditionally, Rangitikei residents have been involved with sheep, cattle and deer farming. More recently the area has been attracting city dwellers looking for a slower pace of life. Every summer visitors come to find their way around the maize maze, which is cut into 6 hectares (12 acres) of countryside. The maze takes around 45 minutes to complete and has over 8 kilometres of paths. Marton is blessed with many fine heritage homesteads; if you enjoy creative outdoor landscapes, there are inspirational gardens to visit in the area.
