Great walks, bit steep at times though. Varied scenery. Tracks are being improved so may be much better. Watch out for local cattle - they can get a bit "Up close"!

We were thrilled with the Bream Head Coast Walk experience. We (two Americans) ended up in the lodge with 9 Kiwis from a hiking club and had an absolutely fabulous time. Claire (the owner) is very well organized, and she does all the arrangements...meeting with us each night to tell us about the day hike for the next day and... More

Did the track up Mt Manaia, wonderful experience and views to die for. Checked out all the Surf Beaches, just amzing Walked the coastal tracks. Well kept and not too taxing on the body .

The Walk was on our "to do" list and have come away with nothing but great memories. The walk itself was described exactly as it was, for us having great weather made it even more stunning. Our Hosts were most obliging and after a hard day's walking it was a treat to come back to our evening meal prepared for... More

Just back from a relaxing three day stay in this lovely clean and comfortable holiday lodge. Claire is in fact as awesome as all the previous reviewers say. The food is healthy, beautifully presented and comes in very generous amounts. Loved it. The walks are numerous and Claire will help with choices depending on your fitness and capability. I personally... More

Stayed for three nights with three others in October and enjoyed every minute. (Although the lodge accommodates much larger groups). The private, purpose-built lodge was extremely comfortable with great facilities and a view across farmland to the sea. Very relaxing. Would have spent more time outside under the covered barbecue area ideal for groups but encountered some wind and a... More
