New Zealand is a long, narrow group of islands, so almost nowhere in the country is far from the sea, and this riverside setting sits close to the coast. Christchurch and Dunedin are the nearest larger centres for supplies and onward travel. Tūī, kererū and other native birds are common in the area, while dolphins, fur seals and seabirds are seen around the coast.
