Itinerary description

A hike down the lane way past the orchards and paddocks and then up to three different platforms that give you nice views of the ocean and the surrounding valley. Give yourself a couple hours to hike up to the top platform (and back) and make sure to take a camera.

The hike starts at the main house and stays on a path all the way to the top. Steep at times, footing would be slippery in wet conditions. Many nice views with lots of birds and a couple of wild goats too.

A nice place to hike and a great place to stay. For more information check out Quiner’s Retreat .

Intersection

Just after you cross over the river, turn left at the car port, complete with vintage car, and get off the main lane and onto a lesser used path.
