Adventures, Crafts & Experiences

Close to both Taupo and Napier, it's easy to get here, but feels a world away from the city. We've got something for most people, be it outdoors and adventurous, or indoors cozy and calm. Our team are warm and love to share their knowledge. If you're in a group with people who can't partake in activities for any reason, simply being here might be enough for them - there are plenty of walks, beautiful sights, farm animals and other things to do/see while here.

Guided Fly Fishing

Raft fishing, heli fishing and spin fishing too

Whether you're a beginner, a seasoned pro or somewhere in the middle, our fly fishing guides will show you the experience of a lifetime fishing the upper Mohaka, Tukituki or Rangitaiki.
