Early in 2007, Makoura Lodge established a new, professionally designed 4wd, offroad testing and awareness facility in association with Toyota New Zealand, at Apiti in the northern Manawatu region of New Zealand

Located in the beautiful Waipari Glen adjacent to the Lodge and supported by a magnificent all weather entertainment area, this facility is proving to be a substantial additional resource for Makoura Lodge.

It is designed to offer teams and individuals a challenging testing ground for 4x4, 4WD vehicles and will produce drivers who are more than capable of taking advantage of the true capabilities of their offroad vehicles.

The Waipari Glen function centre and 4WD track is the ultimate place to safely operate a 4WD vehicle in track conditions typically found in New Zealand rural and back country settings. There is no other 4WD facility like this in the country.
