Just south of Cheviot is Domett, named after Alfred Domett, a past politician and former Premier of New Zealand who emigrated from England to Nelson in 1842.
Those interested in New Zealand’s rail history will find the Mainline Station Café a great trip down memory lane. The café is located in the Domett Railway Station (which dates back to 1907), which was restored in the 1990’s and now contains years of authentic New Zealand railway memorabilia.
The Hurunui River empties its nutrient rich waters, gathered from mountain streams, into the Pacific Ocean where it attracts bountiful catches of salmon and trout.
Accommodation includes camping grounds beside the sea and delightful farm-stays offering a slice of rural kiwi life.
