We love to share our beautiful environment on the edge of the Opawa River with our visitors. You can wander along the river edge and around or through our conservation wetland, borrow some binoculars and look for birds such as kingfisher, swan and black fronted tern.
Your private balcony looks onto trees, enjoy your optional homemade breakfast watching the birds.
If you are feeling energetic you can book a guided tour into the near by Wairau Lagoon by kayak, van or on foot. You will hear the stories of the area and learn about the wildlife.
