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.
