AMAZING PLACE!! Thank you Sally you are a fantastic host, and the two instructors were very professional, while being friendly and cheerful. We couldn't have asked for anything better. Our 'mid lifers' group went zip lining and 11 did the 13m high ropes. Many pushing their personal boundaries without any pair pressure. Sally was so accommodating, tailoring activates to suit our group. Finishing the afternoon off with an amazing bbq dinner. Once again catering to our groups needs. The whole group commented it was one of the best activities we have done. Great location and people. I definitely recommend Makahika to everyone.

A fantastic facility with excellent staff. Well pitched programs, organised and great fun. Went with a Year 8 school camp an it was perfect. River crossing skills, walks, bush craft skills, fun games, excellent food, lovely staff and very well setup. Treated our staff extremely well. Thanks for an excellent week.
An absolutely amazing outdoor's place run by some fabulous people. They have your usual flying fox, high ropes courses etc along with some great combinations of outdoor camping options. The location is well within reach from Levin. Sam, the friendly dog is a welcome companion on your activities!
