Last Resort Walk
The Perfect Overnight escape
The Last Resort Walk is an 11km adventure through native bush, across private farmland, and over rolling hills with breathtaking views of White Rock and Tora. This well-marked track takes you from the station homestead to your overnight stay at The Last Resort, following a mix of bush trails, hill climbs, and stream crossings—all without the hassle of public roads or passing vehicles.
After enjoying a sunrise from your bed and a good breakfast to start your day, lace up your boots for the 10km return journey, following a different route that climbs to over 400m above sea level. From the summit, take in spectacular 360-degree views before descending toward the Opouawe River and back to the homestead.
A moderate level of fitness is required, and sturdy walking boots are a must—expect some muddy sections and stream crossings along the way.
YOUR DESTINATION
After a day on the trail, The Old House is your haven. This shared space offers a fully equipped kitchen, dining, and lounge area—light the fire, prepare your meal, and soak in the endless ocean views.
Your private twin room is just a short walk down the garden path, complete with fresh linen, cozy duvets, and comfortable beds—because after a long day of walking, you deserve a proper rest!

ADD AN EXTRA CHALLENGE: The Game Trail.
Some people may like to power up the hills, others like to take a more relaxed approach, stopping to look back at the scenery, let others catch up, have a conversation on the way and arrive at the top undaunted. With this in mind we have created The Game Trail.
The Game Trail is a walking game on the first section of The Last Resort Walk with simple clues to solve which will help get you to the top of the hill in easy stages.
Every walker contributes $10 towards a sweepstake, with a maximum prize of $5000 to the first drawn correct answer.
GAME PLOT: Find the mole in the Mayor’s office and solve the mystery (not to be taken too seriously).
