Latest Trip Advisor Review
“A wee slice of heaven”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 4, 2011
A lovely little cottage in a beautiful secluded setting, but it was the attention to detail that wowed us. The fresh baked bread which arrived at our door in time for breakfast, the free range eggs we cooked with herbs picked from outside our door, the up-to-date magazines beside the large comfy couches, the fresh coffee, courtesy of coffee beans and a grinder. All this as well as a fabulously comfortable bed, twin baths under the stars to soak away all the tiredness we arrived with and a quiet, peaceful garden to nourish the soul. Thank you Andre and Alison for your hospitality; we are singing your praises to anyone and everyone who will lsten!

Cyberspace boosts West Coast bird-watching
Cyberspace boosts West Coast bird-watching
Cyberspace is providing new opportunities for bird enthusiasts interested in the rich birdlife on New Zealand’s South Island West Coast.
Birdingwestcoast.co.nz is a new interactive website dedicated to birdlovers and providing a comprehensive guide to the West Coast’s birdlife and tips on local bird-watching.
The website promotes guided and non-guided birding tourism in the Buller, Grey and Westland districts, and provides links to other New Zealand bird-watching areas.
Birding opportunities
While many birdwatchers visit New Zealand, not everyone is aware of the special opportunities on the West Coast.
"The West Coast is home to more than 70 bird species, some existing only in this unique part of the world," project consultant Hugh Canard said.
These species include the Okarito kiwi - an endangered species with only 300 birds remaining. This kiwi is only found on a small stretch of land along the West Coast.
Must-see birding
Tourism operator Richard Saunders from Okarito Nature Tours said that the West Coast deserved to be on birding "must-see lists" because of the "amazing variety of birdlife in a most beautiful scenic area."
Saunders hopes that the website will help to raise the region’s profile and promote the birding opportunities available.
"Birders are pretty computer savvy and organise their trips from home in advance - it’s too late to target them when they get to New Zealand because they’ve already planned where they’re going," Saunders said.
While average visitor stays on the West Coast are currently only 1.3 nights, birding offers a significant specialist area that could encourage visitors to stay longer, have a richer experience and want to return for more.
Accessible birdwatching
There was a vast range of easily accessible birding opportunities on the West Coast and it would be great to see more people making the most of them, Department of Conservation (DOC) technical support manager John Lyall said.
"Along with guided tours, there are also plenty of places where people can go out on their own and enjoy our spectacular birdlife and special places," Lyall said.
"We take a lot of things for granted that visitors will really appreciate, like just being able to stop at a car park and see weka wandering around."
Okarito tours
The birdwatching website is a collaboration between four Okarito birding businesses that was initiated under a regional tourism development project.
Okarito lagoon, between the West Coast towns of Hokitika and Franz Josef, is New Zealand’s largest unmodified coastal wetland. It is well known for its outstanding avifauna.
Okarito Boat Tours offers small personalised guided boat trips that cruise quietly among feeding birds, while exploring narrow waterways and ancient rainforest flora.
Okarito Kiwi Tours run nocturnal guided tours deep into Okarito kiwi country, offering a firsthand opportunity to see and hear New Zealand’s flightless icon.
Okarito Nature Tours provides freedom rentals and guided kayaking trips on Okarito lagoon.
White Heron Sanctuary Tours take visitors into the protected Waitangi roto nature reserve - New Zealand’s only white heron breeding colony.
The website also offers the opportunity for birdwatchers to to share information about birds and their environment, enable comments, share photos and videos, and engage on birding issues.
Background: Okarito kiwi
Okarito brown kiwi (Apteryx rowi) is the most critically endangered kiwi with around 300 birds remaining.
Since 1900 the range has contracted markedly, and is now confined to the 11000ha South Okarito Forest in Westland National Park.
Okarito brown kiwi nest in burrows or hollow logs. Kiwi lay their eggs between June and January, and the chicks hatch fully-feathered after about 75 days.
Like all kiwi, rowi are nocturnal birds so rarely spotted. However they can be heard in the dark, mostly in winter and spring, when calling to each other. The male call is higher pitched and clearer. The first few hours after dark are the best time to hear calls.

Spring planting well underway at Birds Ferry Lodge
Inspired by the mild weather this week I have planted out the tomato plants that have been grown from seed collected from last years tomato crop. The plants look very healthy and with blood and bone plus sheep manure pellets buried around their roots they should do well for us. Bring on Summer

First Day of Spring - one new arrival
1st September our very first chick has hatched - I say singular because of the 5 eggs under the hen only 1 managed to crack out of the shell! Will post a picture once they are less camera shy!
Whitbaiting - is it a mystery to you?Read on.....
Whitebait season
A handful of whitebait.
The last time I spent any length of time in Auckland was August 15, 2007, a day that just happened to coincide with the opening of the whitebait season in New Zealand. Opening day for whitebait is a pretty damn big deal for Kiwis. It’s like the third Thursday in November in Paris, when Beaujolais nouveau is released, and the Fiera Internazionale del Tartufo Blanco d’Alba in Umbria, celebrating the beginning of the white truffle season, and the Kentucky Derby, all rolled into one.
Whitebait, if you don’t know, are tiny little fish, the juvenile of common galaxias or inanga, which lay their eggs on the banks amongst grasses in certain rivers in New Zealand, the most famous being Mokau River here on the North Island.
During whitebait season, crazy people take their nets and go stake out a spot on the river to try and snag as many of the little critters as they can. When you get too many people on the river (common) and throw in a few beers (even more common), it’s not unusual for people to get a little territorial and for fights to break out. Which only makes fishing for the sweet, tender little buggers all the more fun as far as the Kiwis are concerned.
When in season, you’ll see signs in the windows of just about every restaurant in Auckland and elsewhere advertising that they serve a whitebait dish, usually some sort of a fritter. But the real whitebait nutjobs have their own secret recipes. To get a sense of just how fanatical Kiwis can be about whitebait, here’s a story told by Martin Bosley about the opening of last year’s whitebait season and his 71-year-old mother-in-law (mind you, spring here is in the fall):
“It was the worst storm that spring and the river was in full flood. The whitebait were running and on one particularly large surge of the river my mother-in-law lost her net and in despair watched it tumble end over end, spilling its precious contents back into the river as it was washed out to sea. The only reason she wasn’t washed away with the net was because she had tied herself to a pine tree on the riverbank. Such is the stoicism of the true whitebaiter.
“Anyway, she leapt into her car and raced home to get a replacement net. In her haste she decided not to remove her waders, with disastrous consequences. As she pulled in to her driveway she mistook the brake for the accelerator and hurtled through a fence, across the patio, demolishing her hardwood outdoor dining table and chairs, and into the house.
“Along the way, the buckets of whitebait that she had so lovingly placed in the trunk spilled everywhere. I remain unsure what she was more upset about—the extensive damage to her home and vehicle or the loss of her precious whitebait.
“Undaunted, she was back on the river in late-August and I will not see her again until the end of November. The only knowledge I will have of her existence will be to find deposits of deliciously fresh translucent whitebait placed in my refrigerator, usually accompanied by a note proclaiming the amount of that day’s catch. With commercial prices reaching $100 per kg, I am deeply appreciative of this.
“Whitebait is one of the few freshwater fish we eat in New Zealand, and the fishing of it is symbolic of our culture. Anyone can do it. I cannot fish to save myself, but can easily catch whitebait; little skill is involved, just patience. While I personally believe that the best-tasting whitebait come from the Cascades River on the West Coast of the South Island, I have had vociferous arguments with those who believe the best comes from the North Island’s Mokau River.
A whitebait fritter, the preferred method of preparation for the little critters.
“I have had similar discussions on how to make the best fritter. I use one whole egg for approximately 100 grams of whitebait. First dust the whitebait with the lightest sprinkling of flour so that each fish is individually coated, and then lightly season with salt—do not use any pepper as it is too harsh for the delicate flavor. Beat the egg in a separate bowl and pour enough onto the floured whitebait to just bind it. Some say that the eggs should be separated, and the whites whipped to stiff peaks before folding them back into the yolks; the choice is yours. Melt a little butter in a frying pan and pour in the mix, cooking each side for about three minutes.
“Squeeze a little lemon juice over the fritter and serve it—preferably between slices of buttered toast. Couldn’t be easier really.”
