On your own or with your family and friends there is an accommodation for you. There are 4 different sleeping units available from the standard Penguin Cottage to the more quirky Gypsy Wagon or Tree House. Each unit is separated and offer privacy but the facilities such as kitchen and toilet blocks might have to be shared. Pōhatu/Flea Bay is a working sheep and cattle farm and was the first one officially established on Banks Peninsula in 1843. The Helps family moved in early 70's to what was at the time a run down farm. What they did not expect was to find that other residents were present: the White-flippered penguins, Canterbury's unique variant of the Little Penguin. In season, join a complimentary Evening penguin tour.
