South Island Luxury Guided Tour to Coastal Otago

 

Location Description: Remote Seaside beaches await. Be allured by the sound of waves cascading on this white sand coastline on New Zealand’s eastern seaboard. Marine Wildlife, heritage villages of quaint charm reminiscent of times almost forgotten, sheltered bays, coastline stretching for miles, Maori culture and locals determined to live the 'good life' that is our kiwi heritage.

Unique Activities: Leave only footprints as you walk /run the sands. Visit a truly undiscovered piece of NZ; we have exclusive access over private farm land to take you to a scenically stunning coastline to view NZ Fur Seals and a varitey of sea birds. Go sea fishing with experienced local fishing people, check out the famous and geologically quirky Moeraki Boulders, head to the villages and mix with the locals. Visit historic Maori Pa (village) sites and learn the stories that bring our past alive. Greet the day for breakfast on the top of an extinct volcano.

Suggested Optional Activities: Eco-tour to marine reserves and bird sanctuaries. Coastal Kayak with guides to little known sea caves. Horse ride along white sandy beaches, or perhaps delight in an exquisite and relaxing facial treatment with our professional Beauty Therapist... in the privacy of your own accommodation.    
Accommodations: Just a sample of our options: 

 'As Ye Like It'- A well appointed Heritage cottage that couldn't be closer to clear tidal waters. See the fish swim past from the comfort of your bedroom, or sit on the deck with a glass of your favourite and a fishing line in your hand.  Gourmet meals arranged to be brought to you, or prepared in- house for a convivial shared experience. The cottage is yours exclusively. Romantic. Relaxing. Undiscovered. 

' Whare Oki Oki' - House of rest and good cheer. Stunning sea views from all windows in your private room with ensuite. Awake to the cacophony of sea birds overhead herald a new day. Your kiwi hosts share  their home and lifestyle with you exclusively, and offer unique experiences. 

'Centrewood Historic Homestead' - Set amongst rolling coastal farmland and positioned close to a nearby penguin and seal colony. Historic memorabillia, gorgeous rural views, warm and welcoming hosts and all this to yourselves. Single party reservations only.

Cruising Country Roads: Travelling inland we journey from the coast in a westerly direction through the wide-open spaces and pastoral lands of the Maniototo and traverse Dansey’s Pass (yes there is a story in there) to Central Otago.
