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 have 6 self-contained chalets set in peaceful gardens & native bush in beautiful Golden Bay.
Golden Bay is located between The Kahurangi and Abel Tasman National Parks at the top of the South Island. All of the stunning scenery, beaches, walks and attractions of the bay are just a short distance away from your chalet.
Take time and explore our site and you will find 'The Sandcastle' is unique. You will find our accommodation is excellent value, with use of sauna and spa complex included in the price.
Should you stroll in the grounds you will find a tranquil pond, local sculpture, an olive grove, orchards, kitchen garden & much else. There is even a small herb garden by the laundry for your use.
The gardens are very safe for children as we are a long way from the main road, and they can enjoy a forest play area with a sand pit and rope swing. A BBQ with a large table and seating area is great for families & parties.
