Formally a city girl, I moved to the Moutere 3 years ago in search of a life in nature with animals. I live here with my character filled Miniature Schnauzer Maverick, chickens, ducks, 2 lambs named Wilbur & Percy, & the cats - Eden, Ollie and Kid E Kat. I love hosting people from all over the world and sharing my piece of paradise with them. This is a peaceful place with just the sound of birds. Somewhere to take time out, relax and rejuvenate.

The local area is picturesque, and there is amazing food, wine, and natural beauty to enjoy. There are many local vineyards to sample. Neudorf wines is only a five minute drive away, and is a lovely spot for a glass of wine among the vines. Gravity Cellars offers wonderful food and wine tastings with stunning views across Tasman Bay. The historic village of Sarau is only 15 minutes minutes away. There you will find a General Store, and NZ's oldest Pub The Moutere Inn. Head to Mapua Wharf (15 minutes drive) for restaurants on the water, quaint shopping or the Saturday market. For a day at the beach visit the white sands of Kaiteriteri beach. The Abel Tasman National Park is a must visit. It offers beautiful walking tracks, kayaking, scenic boat tours, paddle boarding, and Eco-tours, to name a few. The park is accessible by car, but a water taxi or ferry will take you right into the park.
