We are keen outdoors people & are passionate about creating a beautiful environment thriving with biodiversity. We have extensive native plantings in amongst our farm paddocks & along with our neighbours are looking to attract even more birdlife and bush. We would love to welcome you to our little piece of paradise.

Kowai Bush is a very small, very quiet, historic settlement sited alongside the Tranz Alpine Express railway line. It sits in the foothills of the Torlesse Range & is home to two of the last remnants of indigenous lowland forest in Canterbury. Across the community there is a focus on reforesting the area and establishing a natural corridor to connect the two remnants of lowland forest.
