About our Business

About Dannevirke
Dannevirke is a rural service town steeped in Scandinavian heritage in-between the Manawatu & Hawkes Bay regions of the North Island, New Zealand. It is the main centre of the Tararua District and is at the foot of the beautiful Ruahine Ranges.
Dannevirke is smack bang in the middle – a short drive over the hill will land you in Palmerston North city, and a short drive in the other direction (north) will take you to the sunny Hawkes Bay, and then, to the east, are the beaches complete with great fishing and diving. What more could you ask for!
