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.

We had lunch here on holiday. I had a gourmet pizza which was delicious, followed by the best chocolate blueberry gateau with flaked almonds on top ever! I'm trying to find a recipe for a cake this good! Definetly worth going there, I know I'll be back!

We had valentine's day dinner here last year and were happily surprised by it. It was the best dining we had in the whole country. We had good wine and the Burrito and pizza we ate were excellent.

I highly recommend it!
