Famous Hop Federation is very close to the house. Taste some of their popular beers and do try the beer of the month. While you enjoy a beer, others can have a coffee across the road at Ginger Dynamite or a real fruit icecream at the Thomas Brothers

a short walk to a maori spiritual place where fresh spring water emergences from the mountain. For the brave hearted, jump in and feel invigorated. On the way back stop in at Frasers Orchards for the best apples and fruit in the region. Yum!

Sightseeing

beautiful wharf with stunning views. Lovely cafes to enjoy lunch or coffees. The old apple cooling sheds have been transformed into funky homewares shops. Spend a couple of hours in the afternoon. We often buy fish and chips at the Smoke House for an easy and cheap dinner. and have a it at a picnic table on the wharf. Priceless. Live music on Friday nights which creates a good vibe.
