Activities
High and low ropes courses
These can be hired out either together or separately and can be included in an accommodation or day package or hired without the use of the rest of the centre. The courses require qualified instructors. We can organise these for you or you can bring your own people.
The courses are both built utilising the many large pine trees on site and thus offer good protection from the weather. They include a Flying Kiwi and a large cargo net and spiders web. There is a flushing toilet and basin situated next to the High Ropes and plenty of grassed area for picnicking and other games.
The ropes courses are only a short bush-lined walk down to the river.
Large outdoor volleyball net
Small sweat lodge and fire pit
Rafting, kayaking, guided bushwalking and abseiling can be arranged if desired. Please let us know on booking.
