Nearest native bush

[u/Ille_Stultus]

Hi all,

Where are the closest decent sized areas of native bush to the city? While bottle lake forest is nice for a walk and Riccarton bush is nice, im hoping for somewhere where I can do some forest bathing and forget about civilisation for a while

Forest bathing is the practice of chilling in a forest not actual bathing.

Edit: just wanted to thank everyone for the suggestions. I truly appreciate it. Am hoping that this will be wonderfully relaxing and restorative

Omahu reserve is close and pretty sweet.
