Pirongia is a quiet country village 25mins south west of Hamilton.
In 1864 Alexandra (as it was then known) was set up as a British army military base next to the Waipa River and was intended to be the capital of the region. It was named for Alexandra, the wife of King Edward VII.
Three redoubts were built in Alexandra. They contained stores, boat landings, buildings, tent sites, a hospital and military accommodation. By the late 1860's it had become a busy, fully serviced frontier town. The name change to Pirongia came at the turn of the Century to avoid confusion with Alexandra in the South Island.
Later, Te Awamutu was developed as a main town and Pirongia shrank to become the small village which it remains today. A new bridge now crosses the Waipa River to replace older ones destroyed in floods and an esplanade walkway has been developed along the river banks
Mount Pirongia (959 Metres) is an ancient volcano and is the centrepiece of a large Forest Park of 17,000 Hectares.
Pirongia Forest Park is home to many species of native plants and birds and several walking tracks crisscross the park, varying in length from 1 hour to 11 hours. Horse treks and four-wheel farmbike tours are also available.
You can find out more about the area at Pirongia Historic Visitor Centre, browse local paintings, prints, silk scarves and jewellery at Baffin Street Art Gallery or the Pirongia Art & Craft Gallery, or view fine woodwork at the Wood Turning Gallery. Highgate Country Garden is worth a visit, and for equine lovers, Pirongia Clydesdales allows you to see up close this unique breed. Pirongia Craft Day is a treasure trove (last sunday of every month).
Pirongia also boasts an 18 hole golf course and tennis courts for raising the heart rate, and in the village you'll find a licenced hotel, cafes, garage (service station), and mini supermarket.
