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

Our homestay is located on an eco-friendly, privately owned, managed and protected forest & wetland reserve on the edge of the New River Estuary. We have been restoration planting since 1992 and have a zero carbon footprint. This is the easiest site in NZ to see fernbirds. Tui and bellbird, grey warbler and fantail are present in good numbers and can be seen while relaxing in the house. Our homestay is quiet and peaceful, a relaxing base to explore Southland from or before or after a Stewart Island trip. We are close to the airport Bluff port and there are shops and restaurants within 10 minutes.
