There is safe swimming in the estuary or excellent surfing and boogie boarding at nearby Tautuku beach. There are excellent Aurora Australis viewing locations just minutes away, and fishing and hunting opportunities all year round (permits required).
There is bird song in every direction, and you can view native wood pigeon/ kereru feeding on the kōwhai trees from the deck.

Summary: What a gem this bach is Close to the beach, lovely outlook, native birds visiting the garden.Plenty of interesting books to devour, comfy bed, good shower and seperate bath. Was lovely to sit by the fire in the evenings reading. No TV, limited internet and no radio reception only added to the bliss The weather was perfect and our dog loved roaming the garden and enjoyed his beach walks. The township of Owaka is just a short drive away.We will definitely be returning for more stays!
