Location, location, location …

Nestled on the edge of town and close to many “must-do” activities you are perfectly positioned to take advantage of the close proximity to a number of great destinations:

  • “The Burleigh” gourmet pies and Havana coffee (a 5-minute stroll down the road)

  • Brayshaw Heritage Park https://www.marlboroughmuseum.org.nz/

  • Sunday Farmers’ Market at A & P Park on the corner is well-worth a visit with your market bag in hand.

  • Burleigh Riverside railway station. The tracks take you along the Taylor River into “Beaver town” - a lovely ride for a sunny Sunday afternoon.

  • Aviation Heritage Museum for a revisit of WWI and WWII aviation history. https://www.omaka.org.nz/

  • Omaka Classic Cars Collection showcasing more than one hundred cars built in the second half of the 20th century.

  • The Omaka Cafe with locally roasted CPR coffee beans and sit down to a light lunch chosen from the freshly-made cabinet food.

  • Taylor River walkway, just over the Burleigh Bridge, takes you on a gentle meandering journey into town for some retail therapy, art appreciation or a café lunch. Thomas’s is a local institution worth checking out: https://www.thomass.co.nz/

  • Wither Hills Winery open for lunch and wine tastings

So much to do and so close to home!
