As a mission-driven business, we have a strong interest in sharing our unique environment with educational and special interest groups. Walking groups, artists, spiritual retreats and university groups have all enjoyed Rough and Tumble and our surrounds.

We can accommodate groups of up to 20 in our five spacious guest rooms, and will happily work with your group to provide projects or guided activities to suit your needs. With a background in experiential education, Weasel has created onsite activities designed to enable groups to interact with our environment.

Susan works closely with the Department of Conservation to develop longitudinal (ongoing) flora and fauna surveys; your group gains a stake in our environment by participating in these studies. Multiple volunteer projects such as pest control and track maintenance are available.

We work with several tertiary institutions to provide ongoing projects that can be integrated into their curricula; our environment and the human impact on it provides many fascinating insights for interdisciplinary and problem based learning approaches.

Because every group has different goals, please contact us to begin exploring your options. We can provide a number of different accommodation packages to suit your group's needs.
