The name of the town translates as "Land of Many Hills', and it has a population of around 100. During the Prohibition there was a pub under the building that now houses Mainland Minerals. This town has one of the biggest country schools in Southland, has a nursery specialising in native plants, a brickworks, 2 engineering businesses, petrol pumps and a shop - which is famous locally for the 'new'leather' smell of its equestian supplies.

This town was originally settled as a railhead for the Kaiwera and Waikoikoi districts.
