Enjoy beautiful scenic vistas and crystal-clear waters and enjoy some of the best brown and rainbow trout fishing in the world, regardless of season.

Let the thrill of the hunt overtake you as you stalk your prey through the pristine wilderness and expansive grounds of the estate. Explore a plethora of wildlife and game species, test your expertise, and take home stories that will only become more cherished in the retelling.
Head out to the back-country and discover remote spots and best kept secrets. Take off and discover some of the area’s most isolated and unspoilt fishing hotspots… or head to the coast and experience the tang of salt and spray as you cast your line. Either way enjoy world-class fishing that will ensure an experience that is a great catch, regardless of what you bring home.
Hit the trails, explore the countryside, and witness as the wonders of nature unfold. Experience everything the estate has to offer… up close and personal and at your own pace. Let nature welcome you back into her welcoming embrace, return to the land, and reforge connections, making new companions and reacquainting with old friends… both large and small.
Feel the exhilaration as golden rays of sunshine kiss your skin and an errant breeze caresses the contours of your face as you head out for adventure. Explore the well-worn trails and favoured hot spots, or venture farther afield and investigate the recesses and farthest reaches of the estate. Scout the tracks of wildlife. Reconnoitre. Yield to curiosity.
Move with the sway of the horse beneath you as you leisurely make your way through the wilderness; smell the loamy perfume of the earth and the familiar scent of grass warmed by the sun; listen to the chirp of a sparrow resound through a distant meadow; delight as a timid deer wanders across the trail ahead. Experience the estate from a new perspective with a horseback ride and picnic on the plateau.
Venture out deep into the heart of the estate and discover the wonders that await. Meander through quiet valleys and lush grassland and glimpse wild creatures in their natural habitat… up close and personal. Discover the enduring abundance of the estate and reaffirm your connection with the land. Absorb. Understand.
Follow the lilting song of the lively Tui through the trees, investigate the rustle of leaves and play hide and seek with a curious rabbit, or catch a glimpse of movement and behold the majesty as wild deer pass through a sunlit glade. Set off for an enchanting and educational romp through the forests and bush in search of native flora and plentiful wildlife.
Usher in the calm of evening as the sun sets and dusk settles over the estate and witness an event full of magic and wonder. Meander down the short path lush with native bush as curiosity swells and the glimmer of light beckons you on. Peek into the shallow grotto and enjoy nature’s magical display surrounded by the quiet murmur of the falls.
Enter the world of Tolkien and discover the magical setting made famous by The Lord of the Rings trilogy and The Hobbit. Once quoted by Peter Jackson as being ‘a slice of ancient England’, discover the hobbit holes on a guided tour of the movie set.
