Rod and Wheel House was purchased in 2013 and is adjacent to Oreti River House. Both houses offer self contained accommodation in a private garden setting in a beautiful part of New Zealand.

The town offers fabulous brown trout fishing, excellent off road cycling, is near to some of New Zealand Great Walks and Conservation Areas and is close to many beautiful sightseeing spots.
