Overview

Fewer People. More Wildlife.

A chance to see Yellow-eyed Penguins, NZ sealions, NZ fur seals, Albatross and a wide variety of birdlife, in their natural habitat.

Your small, guided tour, of no more than 10 people, will take you to our spectacular, secluded beach.

Our private conservation reserve area is on our historic family farm, at Cape Saunders, on the Otago Peninsula.

A wild, and untamed, dramatic environment that we are lucky enough to share with some of New Zealand's rarest species.

The Clearwater family has deep roots here and is devoted to preserving and enhancing its pristine beauty. Become a part of our shared commitment to protect its natural wildlife habitats.

One of the most beautiful coastal headlands and beaches in NZ”
