Hopewell is in the heart of Kenepuru Sound surrounded by lots to do. Bush walks, kayaking, mountain biking, fishing, swimming, golf, water skiing, gathering your own shellfish or just relaxing.

BUSH WALKS: Right on our doorstep are several great rain forest walks that take in scenic reserves with fine specimens of native trees and birds or hike up to the ridge for outstanding views of the sounds or enjoy a days walk on the Queen Charlotte Track..

KAYAKS: Paddle around or grab a picnic lunch and explore some of the secluded bays of these sheltered waters. We have several quality single kayaks and two-seater sea kayaks. If you're sea kayaking the Sounds, Hopewell is a great stopover for the night.

MOUNTAIN BIKES: The area has heaps of awesome mountain bike trails and we have several quality mountain bikes available. We can even organise ride in and/or ride out trips for the adventurous.
