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.
Skill and self-reliance
Knife making, log-to-home tours, hunting and more
Rediscover the satisfaction of making, building and providing. Step into the workshop and learn to make your own custom knife, go hunting or fishing with one of our guides and bring home nutritious local food for the family. Take a log-to-home tour and gain a greater understanding of how a real, traditional timber frame barn home is made from forest to frame.
Expressive crafts
Pottery, watercolour painting, homesteading and more
Reconnect with the simple joy of creating. From sgraffito pottery to growing gardens and homesteading skills, discover fulfilling crafts that bring creativity, self-sufficiency, and a deeper connection to home and community.
"A very relaxing and serene getaway, surrounded by bird songs and the Mohaka River. The cottages are beautifully finished, with everything you need for a weekend escape. It felt super cosy and high end. The bed was exceedingly comfortable, the linen was lovely and everything was so clean."
