A Taste of Rural New Zealand Tour

We will experience the rural Kiwi life-style as we meander through pretty countryside from historic Puhoi to the lovely country town of Warkworth.

There will be plenty of time to:

Walk and explore the beautiful Wenderholm Regional Park with its long sandy beach and estuary, shady pohutukawa trees and bountiful bird life. Make the short climb to the lookout and enjoy magnificent views of gulf islands and the meandering Puhoi River estuary.
Enjoy stunning coastal and rural views.
Hear beautiful birdsong and the smell the "sweetness" of the native bush.
Sample delicious food and wine.
Explore the pretty Historic village of Puhoi and the picturesque Puhoi valley. Here we learn about the making of award winning Puhoi Valley cheese and meet with an artisan producer of gourmet mustards and condiments. The more energetic might enjoy kayaking on the Puhoi river.
Enjoy a relaxed lunch at a friendly family owned and operated vineyard producing wines from classic French grapes. Relax and enjoy the beautiful setting.
Explore the pretty riverside town of Warkworth and learn a little of its colourful pioneer history and see Kauri more than 1000 years old.
