Golf courses, biking, fishing, jet boating, bungee jumping skiing and wonderful places for picnics
Flaxmere is on the way to Lake Sumner National Park, where there are 5 magnificent lakes. The road to Lake Taylor is easy but beyond there you need a sturdy 4 wheel drive vehicle. Wonderful fishing in the Hurunui River, which is on the way to Lake Taylor.
There are many well known wineries near Waipara only 25 minutes away from Flaxmere.
There are other gardens in this area which Penny can recommend .
