Welcome to New Zealand at its Best

Organic Explorer has carved out a name for itself as a comprehensive resource for travellers seeking eco-friendly experiences in New Zealand.

Through its website and travel guides, it has provided travellers with an abundance of information about everything from organic cafe's and eco-lodges to nature tourism and Maori cultural experiences.

But Organic Explorer’s efforts have gone further than just informing travellers about the variety of eco-friendly experiences available in New Zealand. It has also helped raise international awareness of New Zealand as a visitor destination.

Eco-tourism experiences feature on many international visitors’ holiday plans and that will only increase Organic Explorer’s relevance to visitors and local eco-tourism businesses.

Governor's Bay B&B will not disappoint! Eva provides hospitality that is hard to match. The breakfast--full of delicious home grown delights--will leave you full and feeling energized. The house is both aesthetically pleasing and comforting. The views are magnificent. The massage was the best I've ever received. This place is truly an oasis--full of pleasing smells, sights and sounds. If you are looking for a unique experience and some pampering, check out Governor's Bay B&B. There's even a peacock!

What an amazing place to stay for one night or a week. The views of the bay are superb. It took me only seconds to relax and soak up the delightful peaceful energy of this oasis.
Eva’s breakfast is beyond words. A spread fit for a queen and or a king. I like that Eva serves organic wholesome food prepared with love.
I have stayed in many B&B’s around the world, but there is something very special about this one. I highly recommend Eva’s B & B when
traveling the South Island.

The most beautiful place I have stayed in New Zealand. I loved the view and peaceful experience so much that I came to stay again. The area is surrounded by excellent hiking and mountain bike trails. I highly recommend this B&B!
