Forsyth Island, New Zealand

Regardless of your mode of transport, Forsyth Island is always easy accessible. The island is just minutes away by helicopter from Wellington, the capital city of New Zealand. This private paradise can be found in the south Pacific, between the North and South Islands of New Zealand. Here you will discover the beauty of nature literally at your doorstep, during your stay in the exclusive lodge, suitable for up to 8 people.

Discover Forsyth Island for yourself and savour the spectacular view from 400 m above water, looking down on the many small strands ideal for picnics and on the New Zealand flora of the island. (In fact, the Milktree, a rare plant species growing on the island, cannot be found anywhere else in the world.)

"Paruparu" is an exclusive newly built residence, situated ca. 450 metres above the wharf. The lodge boasts of 232 square metres living space - three bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms, a modern kitchen, dining room, a generous living area with high walls and a roofed veranda, which surrounds practically the whole lodge. The entire interior is completed in wood. Drinking water is available all year round from the islands own well.

 Let your spirit free on Forsyth Island
Standing outside on the terrace of the lodge, one cannot help but be reminded of the now famous phrase "I am the king of the world" ! 

The impressive cuisine is something to be praised. Here you will be greeted by cuisine from the fruit of the sea, traditional menus to your liking, fruit from the island garden and an excellent selection of the finest New Zealand wines from the well known vineyards of Blenheim.

The guests may choose between full board (the caretaker couple prepares breakfast, luch and dinner) or self catering, in which case the caretakers provide the requested provisions.

The island has two telephone lines, electricity, a large docking pier, a farmhouse, many sheephouses along with a humble beachhouse. The mail boat delivers post twice a week to the island.

 Here you are king of the entire island
This panoramic view stretches out past the neighbouring islands and on to the vast ocean, inviting many water sport activities to be undertaken the next day. While fishing or taking a short boat trip through The Marlborough Sound, you will capture a glimpse of seals and dolphins. Whether you prefer to swim, dive or snorkel, you will never be bored on Forsyth Island. 

There are many possibilities on Forsyth Island: boat tours, fishing trips, various water sports including kayaking and surfing- the waters surrounding the island are warm and clear in summer. Whale and dolphin watching, hiking through the numerous island paths, spectacular flora and fauna - no dangerous animals - no poisonous plants - no mosquitos - what more can one ask for!

35 km of pathways have been specially carved out along the coast line and slopes of the island for you.

 New Zealand - a unique and varied travel experience
New Zealand offers a wide range of tourist attractions not only in the Forsyth Island area but also in many other locations. Therefore we recommend our guests to spend at least one week on Forsyth Island and to combine this stay with a one or two week trip around New Zealand. We think this is the best way to discover one of the most beautiful countries on earth. Of course you haven't experienced New Zealand without visiting it's fine vineyards and sampling their famous wines !

New Zealand offers a wide variety of travel highlights. Where else can you climb onto a glacier and hike through a rain forest all in the one day ? Or perhaps skiing on the slopes of a volcano in the morning and bathing in warm thermal springs in the evening ? Where else can you find heavenly South Sea beaches along magnificent mountain ranges ? 

You will discover a unique variety of Flora and Fauna in our national parks and experience the wonder of dolphins, whales and seals and even penguins along the coasts. 

After having indulged in 100% pure nature, it is also worth a taking a visit to the urban cities of New Zealand, namely Auckland, Christchurch or Wellington. Learn about the culture of the Maoris, visit a Marae - the meeting place of Maori tribes. Do not be surprised if you are suddenly invited to "hongi" ! The Maoris believe the age-old nose-pressing ritual has more meaning than a handshake or a kiss, bringing two people into close understanding as they share the breath of life.

From adventure to relaxation, from nature to culture - New Zealand has it all. According to many, New Zealand is the most beautiful country on earth with its unique sights and scenery.
