North of Kaponga is the southern entrance to Egmont National Park. The road end at Dawson Falls has an excellent visitor centre which offers information on the history of the mountain, its flora and fauna, significant points of interest and where they can be found. Also situated at the road end is the Dawson Falls Tourist Lodge which was established in 1896. This lodge offers high quality accommodation and has a fully licensed restaurant. Kaponga is also home to the Hazelwood Horse Ornament Museum. This private collection of horse ornaments belongs to the Hazelwood family and includes a number of family heirlooms. Although there are no accommodation facilities available in Kaponga, visitors to the area are well served by both Konini Lodge and Dawson Falls Tourist Lodge on Mount Taranaki.
