This part of North Canterbury produces world class wines and the local vineyards have restaurants serving wonderful meals created from first class local produce. Wines are available for tasting and also by the glass and by the bottle.
We have in season some of the best fishing in the world. Trout from Lake Sumner and Lake Taylor and salmon from the Hurunui river. No crowds to contend with either. Try this link if fishing is your forte click on Lake Sumner or scroll down and click on Hurunui, and remember we are close by, and an ideal place to start out your day.
We are not far from the coast, Gore Bay has a wonderful beach and surf casting from some of the smaller bays around the coastline is worthwhile.
