We also have Giant Puriri trees, where Native Pigeons can often be seen eating the berries, and Pohutukawa trees, which are a blaze of red flowers at Christmas time. The best time to see the Macadamias in flower is October when the whole orchard is filled with a heady fragrance. You may see native birds such as Tuis, Bellbirds, Pigeons and even Pheasants amongst the orchard. The orchard makes a great day trip from Whakatane. You may be looking for somewhere to take a break while driving around the East Cape, or there are excellent camping grounds nearby if you wish to stay awhile and visit our local waterfall or take a walk on one of the bush walks, in any case, this tourist destination is a must.
Bus tours are welcome, by prior arrangement please.
