Things to Do

THINGS TO DO

Nestled in the heart of Cheviot, yet a place where you can truly unwind and reconnect with nature. The cosy cabin comes equipped with board games, cards, an outdoor bath, and a firepit—everything you need for a relaxing stay.

Take a leisurely walk around the farm using the provided map. Choose between a gentle hike up the hill to a lookout seat with stunning views or a loop via the creek for a more mellow experience.

Explore the local walking tracks, such as the Cheviot Hills Reserve and the scenic Manuka Bay Lookout Track. For a peaceful stroll, head to St Anne's Lagoon. Cyclists will find numerous trails to suit all levels. Wine tastings and a visit to a nearby hazelnut orchard are a must-do.

Cheviot is a hub of activities and eateries, just a 90-minute drive from Christchurch through the beautiful Waipara Valley vineyards. The town’s rich history and range of activities cater to all interests and ages (for the kids!)

A short 15 minutes away is Gore Bay, and along the way is a picturesque loop drive around the Hurunui River Mouth. This bay is a top spot for surfing and swimming, with rock pools to explore at low tide or ventures such as fishing, diving, and catching crayfish and paua. Don't miss the Cathedral Cliffs and historic Port Robinson while you're there. Other nearby beaches, like Motunau and Nape Nape, are also worth a visit.

Under an hour away, Kaikoura is world-renowned for its whale watching and rich marine life. Enjoy a day trip to this coastal town for wildlife encounters, delicious seafood, and stunning coastal walks.

For a different kind of adventure, Hanmer Springs is just 1 hour and 15 minutes away, offering hot springs, forest walks, and mountain biking for an invigorating day out.
