Places to visit

Tucked away in lush native bush, high in the Papamoa Ranges, the Ridge Country Retreat offers a stylish escape for 3 nights. Your helicopter will whisk you away from the lodge out over the Pacific Ocean to White Island where you will land on the crater floor for a guided walk to experience the full fury of nature at work. Leave White Island behind and head for Mills Reef Winery, a tasting platter and lunch awaits, accompanied by a ‘wine paddle’ of your choice. The next day is free to explore, indulge or just relax.
