What's special about us is that we have the magnificent Maungatautari Mountain right on our doorstep, and it's this that we take much pride in. The perfect way to discover this native paradise is to embark on a 6 hour tramp across the Maungatautari Crossing that takes you through the heart, and history of this great mountain. Expert knowledge of the area and connections with The Maungatautari Ecological Trust means this will be one tramping experience you won't forget.

The Maungatautari Ecological Trust was formed to preserve the amazing range of wild animals and bush that make up Maungatautari. It is one of its kind in the world due to the fact that it will soon become entirely pest free due to fencing, and further cultivation of natural wildlife.

Along with this, are various other walking tracks, 16 golf courses within half an hour's drive, water sports and activities during summer, and specialist catering for weddings and conferences.
