This is a good base for lovers of the outdoors. The West Coast is chock full of beautiful and wild places for the adventurous. Plenty of tramping options as well as short walks in the vicinity. Fishing and swimming in the river nearby. We also have some kayaks for exploring the waterways in warm weather.
We are easy going people who live a simple life. We have a great love of the Wilderness areas of the West Coast. We expect people to be respectful of our home and land.
