This Sunday Cuise "Postie's Day Off" includes a 45-minute bush walk through native bush in the Dillon Bell Reserve. A Picnic lunch/farm tour or lunch at Te Rawa Lodge and the final leg sees us arriving at Hopai Bay Farm, home to the Gerard family.

Treasures from the farm, forest and foreshore are scattered throughout the garden, and a large variety of exotic and native plantings thrive in the high-rainfall, low-fertility clay soils in an almost sub-tropical climate. This is a unique and evolving Sounds Garden, where the chief gardener admits that the farm always comes first, but that the garden is at its very heart.

Our friendly, fun local crew will provide informative and entertainment commentary about life in this isolated part of the Marlborough Sounds.

LUNCH: You can either bring your own lunch - to enjoy at the Foote Family Farm or purchase lunch at Te Rawa Lodge (you cannot do both).

WINE TASTING ADD ON: Enjoy wine tastings for an extra $20, just pay on the day!
