Take time out! Get away from it all! Fabulous views, the wild and rugged ranges, pristine farmland, preserved native bush and the spectacular Ngaruroro river. Bring a group of friends/family and take in the glorious hills of back country Hawke’s Bay. Stretch your legs...  Walk to your heart's content over our well marked tracks. Just for the weekend or up to 4 days if you wish. With 8 tracks available, ranging from a stroll to a 7 hour trek, there is something for every level of fitness.  When the day is done, there is the spa to help revive those weary legs! Family time, camaraderie, friendship...  You will stay at the comfortable Awapai Quarters (right). You can park your car right outside.  Seven double bedrooms, gas hob, electric oven, fridge freezer, microwave, plenty of hot water and comfortable beds.

Chill out and relax... There is a wonderful open fire for the cooler nights or sit out on the deck with a glass of wine during balmy summer evenings. Then, if you've requested it, Clair and Pete will serve you up a delicious home cooked country cuisine dinner. One base camp, you choose your days walking... You do not need to move during your stay. Walk out each day from the Quarters and return in the afternoon.  Don’t leave those behind who are not such walking enthusiasts, they can bring their latest novel, handiwork, art kit or partake of one of the shorter alternative tracks. Fishing or swimming too... Take a hours walk to the river and fish the isolated stretches of the Ngaruroro River as it emerges from the mountains.  Or bring your swimwear for swimming.
