Activities

There’s something truly enchanting about soaking in an outdoor hot tub, especially when nestled within the serene beauty of the Beresford Range, embraced by nature. Let the soothing warmth envelop you as you unwind with a cuppa, a glass of wine, or a captivating book, allowing time to drift away in pure relaxation.

For moments of quiet reflection, a selection of local history books and magazines offers a nostalgic glimpse into rural life and simpler times. Find your perfect spot, settle in, and lose yourself in a story that reconnects you to the land and its rich heritage.

Nostalgia comes alive with a selection of classic board games, bringing a sense of fun and friendly competition. There’s plenty to engage and challenge the mind while making new memories.

ADVENTURE ON YOUR DOORSTEP

With guidance and permission from your hosts wander through the surrounding farmland at a leisurely pace or venture further afield. Maps and information inside the retreat will help you navigate your journey, or simply follow the links and information provided.

Nature is ever-present, and time spent on the deck often brings sightings of wild deer grazing nearby or the soothing melody of native birdsong. A telescope inside the retreat allows you to take a closer look, offering the perfect way to observe the beauty of the natural landscape.

For those wishing to gain a glimpse of traditional kiwi farming, take one of our farm tours which includes a working dog demonstration and complimentary 'farmers smoko'.

RELAX, REJUVENATE, REPEAT
