The wine country surrounding the Bell Tower is ideally suited to cycling. For the golfer, there are attractive courses within a few minutes drive. The Marlborough course is only 5 minutes away and Rarangi and Picton a short drive.

While Marlborough is famed for its award winning wines and gourmet produce, the nearby Sounds (Queen Charlotte and Pelorus) are equally well known to fishermen, sailors and recreational water sports people. The area is also noted for its rainbow and brown trout fishing. We will gladly assist with fishing guides and charters.

Queen Charlotte Walkway stretches from historic Ship Cove to Anakiwa. This spectacular 67km Queen Charlotte Track combines unforgettable coastal and bush scenery with magnificent views of the Marlborough Sounds. Visitors can walk the entire track taking up to three days or simply enjoy a leisurely half day's trek with delivery and pick up by water taxi. There are a number of delightful local walks including the Wither Hills - enjoy a short stroll or an energetic hike with spectacular views.
