Our properties sit next to Nature Reserves (either a recreational water access point or wetland)

National parks! We are surrounded by three...  Kahurangi, Abel Tasman & Nelson Lakes!

Go out exploring! There no such thing as bad weather... just inappropriate clothing! Some LOCAL  ideas here. Picturesque areas with a diverse selection of topography. Wild river gorges, hectares of tussock, karst, spectacular cave systems, undulating golden sand coastal tracks, turquoise blue coves, high mountain lakes and much more. How much time do you have??  Plan for a NEW activity!

* 3-4 days Costal track of Abel Tasman National park, 60 km - walk, swim, eat...  repeat!

* 30 mins Flora Hut easy walk, ideal picnic spot, Kahurangi National park

* 2 days - Tablelands Circuit, heavenly horizons around Mt Arthur

* 5-6 days - Heaphy, known for its diversity, alpine tussock to lush Nikau forests and roaring salty seas

* 3-5 days - Wangapeka Track, it crosses two passes through the Kahurangi to West Coast

Or.... Trade your feet in for a mountain bike....

* Great Taste trail - 175 km, estuary boardwalks, past vineyards, rolling landscapes with views
