Activities
HORSE RIDING/TREKKING: For the rider with some experience the treks are amazing and can be from one hour to a day ride. Rides go along the river valley and up into the tussock country and hills. Wonderful views ranging from the mountains to the sea.
For someone with little horse and riding knowledge we offer a “horse experience” which comes with a little tuition and ride is taken on flat land. Great for those who want to get the feel riding but don’t have the necessary skills to experience a longer trek.
FARM TOUR: A farm tour in the four wheel drive truck is an opportunity for visitors to learn more about the farm, see where the sheep and cattle graze and experience the beautiful open tussock country and the views that some with being up in the hills.
FISHING: The Waitaki River and the many smaller rivers in the area are great for fishing – trout mainly and salmon in season. Our local guide provides a wonderful outing for those with experience in fishing and also for those who would like to learn fly fishing.
