On-site activities include swimming pool, sauna, petanque, croquet, picnics and lake cruises. About 3 hours drive north of Christchurch is the small seaside town of Kaikoura. The water off the shore is very deep and brings a wonderful variety of sealife to the area. For the adventurous spirits, there is a great 4WD motorbike tour in the Nelson area. Very safe, you'll be given a helmet and full gear to keep any mud or dirt off your clothes.
Guests can also opt to ride along with a guide.
