Walks
This is a great nature trail, entirely set up by the Tapeka community. The entrance is just over Tapeka Road from the house, and along the walk there is information about native plants and creatures. A great one to do if you have kids.

This is a lovely walk up to the old Pa site, and gives amazing views over Tapeka and Russell. It's moderately challenging (I wouldn't take my elderly mum) but good for young kids and teenagers,
