Local Attractions and Activities
The homestead is just minutes from beautiful beaches and the ocean, where visitors usually see seals and sometimes sea lions. Local walking trails include the culturally significant Huriawa Pa walkway, the Moeraki Lighthouse walkway and our local clifftop walk with spectacular scenery.
The area is perfect for birdwatchers, with many rare and interesting birds to be spotted locally including royal spoonbills, paradise ducks, shags and black swans. Many more native birds visit the homestead gardens, including fantails, bellbirds, tui, native woodpigeon and little owls.
Please note that the local beach is closed in December, January and February for penguin breeding purposes. Other beaches are open all year round.
