TE WAHA O TE KURI
Woodville Ferry Reserve, located near Ballance Bridge, is a large grassy plain perfect for picnics and overnight stays. With so much space, you’ll have privacy and relaxation. This reserve provides easy access to the Manawatu River for swimming, kayaking and fishing, and has a small wetland planted with native trees. The reserve is carefully tended by the Woodville Domain Board, and is a community favourite. To access the reserve, the gate/entrance is on SH 3 just after the Ballance Bridge. If the gate is shut, please be sure to close it behind you.
