I have a wide variety of interests. I enjoy sharing our big garden and Chalet with my guests. Welcome, it will be lovely to meet you, come on in and just relax. I love to cycle, Mt Bike, ski, snow bike. I have ridden horses all my life, I represented NZ in cycling and have 28 years of being a Registered Nurse. I take great pleasure in entertaining people who appreciate and respect our peaceful and tranquil surroundings. I take tours beyond “Cabbage Tree Retreat”. We explore our local areas, country, mountains and beaches, look for wildlife, baby seals, and penguins. My tours are relaxed and I stop here and there at your leisure. If you are keen to go to Tekapo-Mt Cook; if a hike sounds like you, then take a peek at “Arahi Tours NZ”. I can organise a 3-day hike along the summit of the volcanoes this is called the "Te Ara Pataka" Walk, huts are only $15.00 per night and a wonderful experience.
