Lose yourself in our challenging timber maze built in 1982. Dont be fooled, it's harder than it looks! Relaxing courtyard with lawn games, petting zoo, onsite barista coffee and superb range of NZ made refreshments.

Lovely hosts, great coffee, good shade. Petting animals and maze to stretch little kids legs. Great pit stop if travelling.

This place was recommended as a ‘must see’ and we certainly weren’t disappointed. How lucky to have a warm creek complete with small waterfalls to relax in for free! The only thing I found annoying was the amount of rubbish and clothing visitors had left behind. Really disrespectful behaviour I thought for the unique and free experience they had.

The track is two fold and can be done quite separately although we chose to combine the two for a compete experience. There a loop track that is relatively easy with some uphill walking complete with many story boards along the way explaining the trees, ferns, birds, pests and conservation groups conducting work on the mountain. The Jubilee track is 2.5km hike to the top and the same distance back down. The information boards at the bottom are quite clear, due to the growth of the bush there is no view from the top. We saw family groups on both tracks. There are rudimentary DOC compost toilets about 100 metres into the walk.
