Tramping / walking
Triple Tui accommodation is situated on the border of the Kahurangi National Park. Created in 1996, Kahurangi – meaning treasured possession – is one of New Zealand’s newest and the 2nd largest National Park at 452,000 hectares.
There are more than 570 km’s of walking and tramping tracks in the park. The more popular, longer walks include the Heaphy track and the Wangapeka track, but there are short walks available at most road ends. 
Entry to the park can be gained from Triple Tui’s Riverstone cabin and just a 10 minute drive gives you access to tracks up to the Lookout Range, from there you can view Mt Owen and get magnificent views over the valley. There are also come lovely short bush walks on the property.
River walks / swimming holes
The Hope River is a gentle flowing, tea coloured river which runs through Triple Tui, right by the Riverstone cabin. There are many access points where you can wander at your leisure up-river and view old railway bridges, have a picnic, view stunning waterfalls or swim in the clear, cool pools.
