Glenomaru Valley

Glenomaru Valley is a small hidden gem in the dense Catlins bush area. Better known as a hunting and fishing destination, it is the perfect spot for some of our apiaries for collecting the unique Kamahi Honey. The Catlins region features a coastal landscape and dense temperate rainforest. It is the largest area of native forest remaining on the South Island's east coast; containing a variety of native tree species including,Rata, Kahikatea, Rimu and Kamahi.

The Kamahi is a common native that can be found in New Zealand forests. A medium-sized forest tree, it can reach 80 or more feet. Trunks are irregular and there are usually more than one to a tree. Leaves are 2–4 in. long, and are coarsely and bluntly toothed. The small creamy flowers are in short clusters and are very attractive to bees. 

​

Our Kamahi honey is sort after by some of New Zealand's finest chefs. It provides a uniquely identifiable honey flavour to their dishes. A great replacement for sugar in coffee, it has been likened to molasses and toffee.
