Tasman ViewsOur self-contained studio is situated away from the main house and is ideal for a couple, solo adventurers, and business travellers. We provide a comfy bed and continental breakfast. The studio has beautiful views across farmlands to the Tararua Mountain Ranges and sea views the other side. A 10min stroll takes you to our picturesque beach, via scenic walkways. Peka Peka Beach is great for swimming, walking, or just sitting and relaxing. There are masses of tracks and trails accessible from here and within the Kapiti area, for biking and walking or tramping. A trip to Kapiti Island from Paraparaumu, is a must for nature lovers.

Unique activities hosted by local experts vetted for quality
- You'll be transported to the New Zealand countryside to see the surrounds of our beautiful farm and meet our friendly, naturally coloured Corriedale sheep & lambs (during lambing season). Our wooly sheep will come right up to us to say hello and have a pat and I'll answer any questions you would like to ask. We'll chat about how they are looked after on the farm, the lambs and breeding cycle and how we rescue and carefully feed any orphan lambs. You can even learn a bit about the history of sheep farming in New Zealand. Next, I'll explain how wool is shorn from the sheep, skirted, washed & dried. Then we will select your choice of wool, alpaca, lama and possum fibres to blend and card into large batts of fibre that are then spun into yarn. I'll use the wool that we've just made to give you a spinning demonstration on my spinning wheel. There will be lots of opportunity for guests to ask questions about farming, our friendly, wooly friends or wool processing. This Experience is great fun for team-building, date nights, get togethers and team building events. Please book a private experience for your group and I'll make sure you have lots of laughs, time to connect with nature and de-stress and learn a bit along the way. Fun for family/friend catch ups too. Message me to schedule your event. Individual bookings and kids groups also welcome. Other things to note This experience can be viewed from most devices. A larger screen is probably best to be able to see the outdoors, animals and wool craft in detail.From Price:₹1,142/person
- Will will meet in the CBD early evening and head out towards one of the three main peaks around the city depending on the weather and desired distance for our group. Walk the steep bits, jog the flat. We will soon find ourselves in bush with birdsong and great atmosphere. Then before long we will see views (mandatory selfie). Then we run down hill, our favourite part, to either one of the great boutique craft beer bars or a hidden gem of a cafe for refreshments and running brags. There will be bush, probably mud, views, smiles and good trail times all round. Let me know what your normal running distance is and I will adjust the tour to find middle ground. That is is the beauty of running in the the trail running capital of the world: we always have options.

- For those seeking an alternative to the pharmaceutical route and wanting to deep-dive into a cosmic sound healing then this experience is for you. Your relaxation starts the minute you enter the peaceful energy of Karaka Studio. Your session takes place fully clothed on a massage table and I use essential oils and aromatherapy to enhance your experience. You will be cocooned in a warm blanket and I will place an eye mask over your eyes allowing for a deeper sensory experience. After 10 minutes of hands on energy healing I will play my 14 crystal singing bowls for 40 minutes ..........the sounds and vibrations will take you on a profound and transformative journey like nothing you have experienced before as you enter into a deeply relaxing, hypnotic trance like state. When you come back from your journey to this dimension you will feel lighter and more rejuvenated than you have ever felt as your healing has been activated on a deep cellular level. The ancient healing modality of sound and vibrational medicine has amazing benefits if you suffer from insomnia, depression, anxiety or chronic pain. Clients often experience instant results after just one session with their ailments often completely gone as energy blocks are cleared. (Suitable for pregnant women)From Price:₹3,114/person

- We begin with a brief conversation about woven cloth, the history of weaving and the development of looms. I will demonstrate good technique for weaving with wool and introduce more tips as you weave on a vintage 4 shaft table loom set up with a wool warp designed to give you the opportunity to play with both colour and some weave structures. The warp is named Outlook, referencing Wellington's infamous southerly weather systems and the promise of spring. All yarns are provided however you are welcome to bring your favourite wool yarns and we can see if they can be incorporated into your work. Depending on your skill level and the motifs you chose to weave, you will take home your own piece of fabric that is suitable for you to construct into a cushion cover, table runner, diary cover, wall hanging or purse. You can be new to weaving, or already have some experience and wish to learn more about weaving with New Zealand wool and about sustainable design. We will take a break for refreshments, which are provided. During COVID restrictions each workshop will be delivered to a group of 1, 2 or 3 people who know each other and book together.
