Pretty, short walking loop trail at the end of the road, by the river. Dozens of large eels ("tuna", in Maori) in the little stream under the riad, next to the motel. They come quickly if you have bits of meat to trow in for them to eat. No catching/fishing, though!

This was a quaint place to stay, room was a tad small but all good, minutes to drive to main shops and we loved feeding the eels and the lovely japanese garden type area, the owners should advertise these with photos would be a big pull for them, would recommend this motel
