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

Riverslea's natural surroundings and comfortable lodge and self-contained cottage and the experience of hosts Lilian and Chris combine to create a unique environment that offers an alternative to the more corporate feel of hotels and conference centres or the basic facilities of some group accommodation. We can provide catering to meet your requirements including breakfast, lunch, dinner, morning and afternoon tea and picnics. Everything is home-made in our kitchen using fresh produce that is locally grown and organic where possible We call our place a retreat because we know that it has a special atmosphere; people relax in the peaceful surroundings and clean fresh air and feel ready to tackle whatever they are here to do. We are firmly committed to developing and protecting Aotearoa New Zealand’s native bio-diversity. Location: Riverslea is in the Otaki River Gorge, with the Tararua Ranges to the east and the Kapiti Coast to the west, 10kms from the town of Otaki.
