Experience an unforgettable holiday. Walk at your own pace over Banks Peninsula’s extinct volcanic landscape, where ridges and peaks offer sweeping panoramic ocean views. Traverse coastal cliff tops, through ancient forests, waterfalls, tree ferns and descend into otherwise inaccessible bays. Enjoy an abundance of wildlife, glorious birdsong and gaze into our night skies, whilst staying in unique accommodation each night.
Our Story.
Wildlife Artist
Wild about NZ Wildlife, my inspiration comes from living and working on Hinewai Reserve, a 1500-hectare nature reserve on the doorstep of Akaroa. I aim to protect our critters one artwork at a time, through my NZ wildlife art.University-educated but community-taught, I have gathered knowledge from many wonderful artists and spent hours practising. Now I share my art with you. Find out more about Hinewai from this short documentary below.
