Hostel Description
An ancient place of peace and healing for the body and the spirit. To be discovered in a special corner of Aotearoa (New Zealand) on the shores of Nydia Bay, halfway along the Nydia track. Welcome to tranquility. The people who share our home come away with the knowledge that they are helping to protect the natural beauty of the Marlborough Sounds. You are part of an experiment: can people, tourism and the environment live in harmony? Yes...which is why all contributions received from you are channelled towards the protection, conservation and restoration of our native flora and fauna.
You will find friendly hospitality and rustic comfort in this ancient place of healing nestled on the shores of Nydia Bay. A sanctuary for travelers exploring the beauty of the Nydia Track. Relax in your cozy cabin or dorm, take a walk to the nearby waterfall or explore the bay by kayak. Our fleet of double and single kayaks are available for hire for the intrepid travelers that wish to discover the secluded natural coves and beaches of Nydia Bay. Cook up a feast in our spacious kitchen that opens on to a fragrant herb garden or allow us to spoil you with reasonably priced home cooked meals including wood fired pizza out of our adobe oven on Friday nights. Make yourself at home on the renowned Te Mahoerangi porch where quiet contemplation or conversations stretch into the star lit evenings or flow to the fire pit for shared warmth in the night chill.
With ALL PROFITS TO THE ENVIRONMENT you receive satisfaction from the knowledge that your money is helping protect the places you like to explore.

Hostel Directions
Tramping & the Nydia Track
Te Mahoerangi is located half way along the Nydia Track. The Nydia Track provides a two-day walk crossing the Kaiuma and Nydia saddles and following the sheltered shoreline of historic Nydia Bay. Formed by linking old bridle paths, the 27km track meanders through a variety of native bush and forest. Classified as a tramping track, the Nydia Track is most suited to people with reasonable fitness. Boots are recommended on the well-defined track and because some of the streams are not bridged, care is required when crossing them after heavy rain. The track is also open to mountain bikes. Also to be found in the local area of Nydia Bay are various smaller tracks to water falls, swimming holes, historical relics.
A loop service is available which takes you to the beginning of the track at Shag Point by a short Water Taxi ride from Havelock. Upon completing the track a bus will take you from the end of the track at Duncan Bay back to Havelock. Please contact Rutherford Travel to book on +64 3 574 2104 or email: enquiries@rutherfordtravel.co.nz
