Centrally located, our farm is a perfect base to explore from!
As a family, we know and love where we live. We have spent a lot of time exploring and enjoying our backyard, particularly in the past two years. Here are our family’s top local tips /must-do’s!
Riverside lunch and a 1-hour raft or kayak trip with our friends at Awastone – Mangaweke Adventure Company:
Enjoy a scenic 40-minute car ride up State Highway 1. Meet your friendly guide for a 10am start. All of your equipment will be provided for the 1-hour experience on the river. Amazing photo opportunities and memory-making with your family on the river. Suitable for all ages. Our 7 and 10-year-old kids can’t stop raving about this experience. Relax riverside after your experience and enjoy your lunch from the onsite Cafe.
