How Posh Pioneers began.. After almost 50 years of working and holidaying in this remote area of New Zealand, Heather & Fritz bought a block of land known as ‘Maharanui’ from an old farming family. Their mission was to respect and preserve the Wairua (Spirit) of this special place and to share this experience with like-minded others. 8 years and many an entertaining story later they made the tough decision to pass the torch onto ourselves, Willow & Rogan, a couple of self-proclaimed off-grid enthusiasts with a passion for self-sustainability and an instantaneous love for the raw beauty of Maharanui. With no road access, Maharanui is home to native birds (including kiwis), bats, and glowworms. We are continuing the tradition of routinely trapping possums and other pests and using possum fibre, combined with NZ wool, to make quality items to support our pest eradication programme. We have also chosen to continue to share all that this pristine location has to offer with others, ensuring that the legacy so lovingly built by Heather and Fritz is maintained and upheld. The use of the six shepherds’ huts on wheels, a kitchen, and a bathroom, all with modern comforts will be made available to all river enthusiasts and travellers alike. Our family, our friends, and ourselves anticipate the spiritual enlightenment promised in the peaceful settings of Maharanui; content in the knowledge that this is a wonderful journey to be a part of. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb5232405e99945a9f5075e/1589020102573-CXIB6NOSK9NLOC1VXGF1/Heather+and+Fritz+gardening+at+Posh+Pioneers About us / Reviews - Sustainability The Sustainable Lifestyle of Posh Pioneers Posh Pioneers is based at Maharanui on the Whanganui River. Maharanui means big dreams. We endeavor to preserve and respect the environment to the best of our ability. To us, that means maintaining a very eco-friendly business that will be here for generations to come. Arriving here is a journey in itself – you can arrive by canoe, jet boat or helicopter. There is no road connecting our retreat to the rest of the world. Due to our remote location, we operate completely off the grid. We harness the sun’s energy for our electricity, collect rainwater, and have composting toilets. A self-composting toilet is actually very modern and looks a lot like any other flash flush toilet. It simply recycles water and waste in a sustainable way. Along with being self-sustaining, we do have modern comforts such as USB chargers, WiFi, fully-insulated shepherds’ huts, potbelly fires, and luxurious linen. Many of the activities we offer revolve around living sustainably, using natural materials, preserving and appreciating our environment. We use the vegetables and fruit from our large organic garden that is based on the permaculture principles of earth care, or source them locally. We would love to share more about our commitment to keeping Posh Pioneers’ footprint small.
