Search Eyrewell Forest hotels

The best time to visit Eyrewell Forest is during the warmer months, from late spring to early autumn (November to April), when the weather is most pleasant for outdoor activities.


During these months, you'll experience longer daylight hours and generally milder temperatures, making it ideal for exploring the forest trails, cycling, or enjoying picnics. The warmer weather also means the forest is at its most verdant, offering beautiful scenery for walks and photography.


For those interested in fishing, particularly salmon fishing in the nearby Rakaia River, the peak season typically runs from December to March. This period offers the best chances for a successful catch and a more enjoyable experience on the water.


While Eyrewell Forest is accessible year-round, the cooler, wetter winter months (June to August) can limit outdoor activities due to lower temperatures and shorter days.
