Phil McCabe is the co-founder and chief executive of Solscape, an eco-accommodation in Raglan featuring unique, alternative buildings, yoga, clean eating, surf instruction and organically grown produce, nestled atop a hill overlooking the stunning curve of Ngarunui beach.
Until recently, Phil was also the Chairperson of Kiwis Against Seabed Mining (KASM), a spontaneous community-based action group that stands against any non-essential mining of New Zealand’s foreshore and seabed.
