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.

Full Description

Comfortable assorted accommodation and camping right inside the Urutawa Native Forest  reserve, set alongside the pristine TeWaiti stream yet only 20 min. from sunny Opotiki or 30 min. to the beach. Eastern Bay of Plenty.

A range of accommodation including a five bedroom house, Love shack, bunkhouse, small batches and a small camp ground with full utilities. All have decks and use of BBQ's.

Several walking , tramping and mountain biking tracks are very close by.  10 min. ride from the Motu Trails Pakahi Track and the TeWaiti track starts right at our front gate.

Swim in clear unpolluted pools of mixed depths (you choose) we have hundreds.

Take a gentle stroll up the TeWaiti track or branch off to a side track for a bit of a challenge, also great for mountain bikes.

Sit back in the evening, enjoy a drink and barbie while listing to the native birds.

Bring your rod, get up early and bask in the beauty and absolute pleasure of casting a line into a pristine pool while listening to the morning chorus. You may even catch breakfast.

Take one of our guided tours for something real special.

Check out the glow worm just up the track.

Maybe you just come and do nothing, that can be great as well.
