Leisurely Retreat

 Enjoy a lazy breakfast or brunch at one of Reefton’s charming cafés before exploring the heritage trail and soaking up the town’s rich history. Wander up Broadway to browse unique shops, including the art gallery where you can admire the work of local artists.

Step back into the gold mining era with a visit to the mining museums and attractions, and try your hand at gold panning and see if you can find a nugget of your own. For a change of pace, visit the gin distillery for a tasting or take a relaxing walk around the historic powerhouse. If you’re feeling active, enjoy a round of golf or game of tennis nearby.

Finish your retreat with a delicious meal at one of Reefton’s pubs or restaurants, mingling with locals and soaking in the friendly atmosphere.

Local’s Tip: Head to the Strand for somewhere to relax and enjoy the river view – it’s an ideal picnic spot!
