GOLDEN DOWNS

This site is the online location of Golden Downs, abode of Willy Cameron and Rewa Glasgow, property of the Cameron family, and home to Te Papakura o Kahuroa - a place of living and learning... The land was bought by Val and Neil in 1997 and Willy and Rewa came to live here shortly after, getting married in the patch of Western Red Cedars, and finishing the work of transforming the old hall into the Lodge. The notion was to be sustainable, to guide people in the wilderness, and to grow and cook the best food. It was not acknowledged as such, but it was a leap into a new way of life, and an ongoing process of learning.
