Welcome to New Zealand at its BestOrganic 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.

Korito Organics
Full DescriptionThe bach is on a certified organic permaculture property, with Mount Taranaki as a backdrop and the New Plymouth coast to the front in the far distance. There is plenty of room on the 10 acres to walk around and also to learn about permaculture, biodynamics and organics. We have extensive vegetable gardens as well as chooks, ducks and various animals. Eggs and seasonable vegetables are available to purchase. The property is powered by renewable energy – we have a water turbine, solar panels and a solar hot water heater. We would encourage you to live an eco lifestyle for your stay. There is also a composting toilet. We have planted 2000 native trees as well as extensive orchards, coppice and timber trees. Spend an evening relaxing in a firebath under the stars listening to moreporks.
