Places near Raglan
Te Kowhai, near Hamilton, is a nice little field with friendly staff in the café. They build microlights there. No scenery visible from the ground, it's just a nice country airfield.
Raglan is suitable, but a ?ten? minute walk into town for cafés etc. The runway is more challenging than Te Kowhai, but still quite serviceable.
Taharoa Iron Sands is quite unique and requires prior permission. It's a long way from anywhere, but the beach is scenic!
Really every airfield has its benefits, why not check on Google Maps or similar to find out what each one is like and how far from scenery or lunch places they are.
