This is what makes our little community of Colville so special When something needs doing, people simply pitch in, lend a hand and get stuck in.
We’re pretty lucky to call Colville home.

Great news! The Coastal Walkway is open again as a one-way walk from Fletcher Bay to Stony Bay — 10km, approx. 4 hours.

Let Hike & Bike Northern Coromandel take care of your drop-off and pickup, then make a stay of it at Whitestar Station.

Book your shuttle and accommodation before the summer rush!

Did I mention the Coastal Walkway has re-opened as a ONEWAY walk again? That's right through from Fletcher Bay to Stony Bay, 10kms, approx 4 hours walking. Its such a great day out with spectacular scenery in a very remote part of the country.

Save local Coromandel maternity care!

A Coromandel mum who was airlifted to Waikato Hospital after going into labour two months early says she nearly had her baby on the side of the road.

A pretty special moment for White Star Trail — our private walking experience is featured in Wander – New Zealand’s Private Walks NZ brand-new book!

White Star Trail is run with our awesome partners at Element Events.

To see Whitestar Trail featured alongside some of New Zealand’s other incredible private walks is pretty bloody cool.

As of today, you can now buy our new book at https://www.privatewalks.nz/our-book

Wander - New Zealand's Private Walks has just come off the press in Christchurch. As you asked to be notified, you're among the very first people able to order it before the bookshops and also Father's Day.

It's a beautiful, high-quality travel companion with host insights and professional photographs; it's the kind of book that becomes a genuine keepsake or thoughtful gift.

We've already had stockists pre-order 1,100 copies, and, as this is a small first-edition print run, I'd encourage you not to leave it too long.

Happy Wandering | Gary Patterson

Our local Colville midwife ❤️

We at CFM are supporting this message and the call to protect locally available maternity care on the Coromandel, while recognising this is an important community issue with a range of perspectives.

Fabian has spoken with a local Coromandel midwife about the situation and what the loss of locum funding could mean for local families.

You can listen to their conversation here: https://open.spotify.com/episode/5rhzBQEpRHuuAYlXVLLBKg?si=LnVNGj1-SQuelMyPl8artw
