The Baton Valley has a special feel. Whether it comes from the huge cave systems which lie in the surrounding mountains, the biodiversity of the thousands of hectares of ancient forests adjacent, or the peace and quiet from being at the end of the road, this location offers serenity and restoration for body and soul. Owned by a charitable trust which has a focus on heritage, education and health benefits, there are opportunities to take part in hands-on projects in the soil and learn about different aspects of the local environs. Check out the newly restored wetland, tōtara tree plantation or learn about medicinal plants. Dive into pure, mountain-fed rivers in summer or soak in the hot tub under the winter skies. Plenty of options here.
