The many visitors that have passed through leave with a smile on their face, all because:

Visiting Clutha Country is about feeling alive.

• It's about getting back to nature.
• It's a field of daffodils and new born lambs in spring.
• It's stopping for a farmer moving a mob of sheep across the main road.
• It's meandering the country's highways and byways and catching the locals at play or work.
• It's Anthem House and historic goldfields.
• It's discovering a wealth of history.
• It's the depth of the Blue Mountains.
• It's crossing the Clutha, New Zealand's largest volume river on a punt!
• It's sand dunes and having an entire beach all to yourself.
• It's hidden wonders and country hideaways.

• It's Cathedral Caves, and cascading waterfalls, dense rainforest and indigenous wildlife.
• It's being at peace with nature and the great outdoors.
• It's world class fishing waters.
• It's rugged coastlines, rolling green hills, and clean rivers.
• It's passing a silage pit with your windows down.
• It's long light summer evenings and remarkable golden sunsets against the tumble of mountain and river.
• It's waking in the morning to the sound of birds singing in the trees, to a crisp dew on the freshly cut expansive lawn.
• It's about yarning to the people that graft a living from the beautiful lush green countryside and putting the slow motion button on.
• It's stopping, relaxing and getting to know the locals, if you can't do that, it's waving at someone you wouldn't even know from a bar of soap.
• It's about an hour from Dunedin.
• It's about wanting to come back.
