Come and enjoy peace and tranquility with the sounds of native bird song, Enjoy local fishing for snapper of the rocks, or out in the boat in either Kenepuru or the outer sounds, lots of boat launching options available. Put out the set net for flounder during the season or spearfish our local beaches within walking distance. We have a private beach with fine gravel and sand mix good for swimming and cooking marshmallows by the fire. We have 85 acres of regenerative native busk with walking tracks to the top of our boundary providing majestic views of the surrounding sounds. Enjoy the beautiful sunsets while sitting on our front deck enjoying your favourite beverage.
