Parks & Nature

It is one of the "Great Walks" of New Zealand! It is good for just as a short hike too: just do as much as your feel and then double back. Lovely hike through alpine bush and bridged streams.

Shopping

Boutique store with lots of unique products. Managers go to trade shows to source wares. Has a down-home country feel. It sells organic market foods. Try their "Full Monty" gelato. Products are of a higher quality than you may expect. This is the best store for supplies in GY.
