Many guests never get in a vehicle during their stay with us; there's plenty to do right onsite. When your backyard is one of the most beautiful around, it's pretty hard to beat! Here's a list of some of our "vehicle free" activities:

• Enjoy the beautiful bush and river trails on our private 100 acres.
• Hike up the scenic Mokihinui Track to the Rough and Tumble Creek.
• Play in the sit-on-top kayaks in the flatwater area ('The Pool') in front of the lodge.
• Fish for brown trout for days on end in one of New Zealand's purest rivers.
• Hunt for deer. A kayak directly across the river gets you in deep right away.
• Pan for gold in the riversand; the Mokihinui is known for its nuggets!.
