Sightseeing
Majestic and magical, the Redwoods Treewalk experience is truly a walk to remember. Suspended high above the forest floor, encounter 75-metre-tall redwoods as you walk across eco-suspended bridges and platforms intricately designed to honour and accentuate the stunning natural environment. Regarded by many as one of the best tree top walks in New Zealand. Tranquil and relaxing, the forest is just so peaceful to walk through and only 1km from our Suite Retreat. I can highly recommend experiencing the Treewalk during the day, or by night under the nightlights.

My favourite coffee spot. An independent coffee supply company serving handcrafted espresso and other goodness. Located inside Vetro Mediterranean Foods, they deliver a unique experience in coffee culture. Sit at the communal table and enjoy flicking through the magazines while you share a coffee or lunch with friends. Their custom blend of two distinct coffee origins is available wholesale, retail in store and online. Revolver Espresso is pleased to work closely with other local artisan independents and is always looking to lead the way with edgy innovative suppliers.
