Tips from locals
Hinewai is an ecological restoration project on Banks Peninsula, privately owned and managed by the Maurice White Native Forest Trust, but freely open to the public on foot.
Breathtaking walks up at the reserve. You can also access it by just driving right to the top of Rue Balguerie.
This is a unique experiment in allowing nature to regenerate itself. Enjoy the birds and the forest walks.
Lots of walking tracks through here - stop in at the information centre to pick up a map.
