Streamside Walk
Garden paths lead down to the Ngongotaha Stream. This is a well known trout stream where you can see trout in the wild.
Majestic Mt Ngongotaha
Paradise Valley Lodge sits in a natural amphitheatre which provides us with 360 degree country views. To the south is the majestic Mt Ngongotaha which provides shelter from the southerly winds. In summer the mountain basks in the last of the evening sun and in winter it turns mystical when shrouded in mountain mist.
