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

Cliff House offers luxury, lodge style, self-contained, accommodation for up to eight people. Cliff House is located on Northland's beautiful Taiharuru peninsula, just 20 minutes from Whangarei.

Commanding spectacular views from its clifftop location and settled in 25 acres of rich parkland, Cliff House provides a unique blend of privacy and tranquility. A retreat for all seasons, Cliff House is available for you to enjoy all year round. Relax in the warmth and glow of the open fire during winter or open the house to the cooling sea breeze during summer's balmy heat.

At Cliff House, you can do as much or as little as you like to pass your time. Idle away a pleasant evening with friends and a glass of wine on the petanque court.

Take a walk down the private stepway to the secluded cove for a spot of fishing or to explore the rock pools.

Relax on the sun-drenched decks and watch the ocean's changing vista. Meander along the paths and tracks, fly a kite on the clifftop, fish a little, make Pina Coladas and watch the sun go down.
