Visitors to this region will have their pick of various fun activities. The local pastime here is game fishing, and keen fishermen can take a chartered trip from Russell to try their hand at reeling in marlin, broadbill, swordfish, shark, tuna, kingfish, snapper, and sea bass. It's also possible to take kayaking and sailing trips. Whale watching tours are very popular, with an abundance of whales, dolphins, and seals in the region's waters. This area is home to many stunning beaches and bays. Oneroa Bay, 15 minutes from the property, is particularly great for swimming and surfing, and Russell's scenic reserve, 8 minutes away, is a superb place for picnics, walks, and stunning ocean views.

Guests who are able to travel further afield should check out Waikino Forest. It's only 45 minutes away and is also the perfect spot for walks and picnics. Hiking and cycling trails for all abilities can be found in and around Russell, with guided nature walks available, where guests can hope to spot Kiwis and other native wildlife. Those in need of some retail and food therapy will adore the selection of antique stores, gift shops, and gourmet restaurants available in Russell.
