A little something for those who need something to look forward to this spring!
We've crafted a limited series of off-the-beaten track escapes with our team of local guides. Each escape features a collection of their favourite day tramps and foodie experiences in either the Waikato or Coromandel.
Take on the great outdoors with one of our experienced local bush guide:
- Exclusive tastings, meet the maker and peek behind the closed doors of our passionate artisans
- Think gourmet cheese, wine, ice-cream, cooking classes and more.
- Tramping options for all levels
- Charming country and water front boutique accommodation options
- Limited to small groups of 6
Fully inclusive - Every little detail is taken care of.
It's time to reconnect with people, nature and great food
We all know it was a less than ideal start to 2020. With every cloud there is a silver lining and our silver lining is a renewed appreciation and gratefulness for our beautiful outdoors, good company and just getting away from it all.
We've put a lot of thought into crafting three escapes in collaboration with our awesome guides. Think off-the-beaten track tramps, secret spots they know about and local gems you would never even have known about.
