Morley Road is a pretty, tree lined no exit road. The land here is exceptionally fertile so there are several orchards and other crops grown in the vicinity.

There are two restaurants in walking distance through orchards on the southern boundary

Serendipity is a cafe for coffee, breakfast or lunch.

3 Wise Birds is a popular cidery restuarant.

Pakowhai Park is on the Northern boundary of our orchard. It is popular for walking with or without a dog. There is usually a coffee van parked there in mornings.
