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:

Kayaking in 'The Pool' in front of the lodge
Kayaking in 'The Pool'

 

  • 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!

  • Mountain bike local roads, to the renowned Charming Creek Walkway, and up the track

  • Feed the eels

  • Bike to the Tasman Sea (30 minute ride), be a beach bum, then cycle back along the Chasm Creek Walkway

  • Walk or bike to the nearby Seddonville Hotel, say gidday to Graeme the publican and enjoy a locally-brewed beer

  • Swim or snorkel in The Pool. It's 40 feet deep and (usually) crystal clear

  • Have a short walk after dinner to visit our resident glow worms; so close, you’re eye to eye with them

  • Kick back around the campfire, tell tall tales and enjoy some homemade music
