Andy had an awesome paddle in Cable Bay with some friends. They were visited by a dolphin and later a penguin swam up to them to have a nosey!

We brought the digger in to landscape the gardens and create a playing area for the children

Admiring the skillful digger or dancing metal dinosaur as Hannah called it!

Sea Kayak Excursions

Talk to us about sea-kayak excursions, from sunset paddles in calm river estuaries, to day trips around Split Apple Rock. Andy is an experienced instructor and has worked as a professional guide in the Abel Tasman park. Give us an idea of what you would like to do and see, and we will help you plan your perfect adventure. Our advise and booking service is free, so why not ask?

Mountain Biking

If you fancy taking a bike ride around some of our local vineyards, or taking the bike ferry to Rabbit Island, talk to us about our mountain biking options that are reserved exclusively for our guests. We can even arrange to pick you and your bike up if you have sampled more local wine than you expected!

Tramping (Hiking) Routes

If you are in the area to do some serious tramping and don't just want to do a circular route we can provide a shuttle service to drop you off and pick you up. If you'd like to go with a qualified mountain leader we can help provide one of those as well.
