Extras you might like to add


These will be available to select during the booking progress


$0.00 per group

These walks lead you on a journey to some of the best views of Gisborne and its hinterland. The land formations are as interesting as its history. There are short walks and long walks available. Guided walks are available.

Green Walk | Red Walk | Blue Walk | Guided Walk

The terrain is very much big hill country making the walks reasonably challenging therefore the fitness level needs to be good. Some of the walking is on bulldozed tracks and parts are on narrow sheep tracks on the side of steep hills. Small bogs and creeks have to be walked through. Each walk has a small area of bush so you get the idea of what the land was like before the settlers arrived in the 1910s and 20s. Paid for once done and before leaving. $15 per person per walk



$0.00 per group

Freshly cooked dishes which celebrate the abundance of good quality local produce, in fact 80% of which comes from local Stations. If you would like to hold a party, whether lunch or dinner, Christmas or a birthday celebration, we can devise a menu for you.

We provide you with all the provisions for a continental and cooked breakfast and also a good old fashioned picnic lunch.

We are happy to cater for vegetarians or other special dietary requirements. Please inform us at the time of booking. Paid for upon arrival $80 per person

Jane's Photo


I have been running our property since we brought 1/2 of the neighbours farm in 2007. Not knowing what to do with the extra house and large rhododendron garden I decided to mark out walks around our farm and the neigbours have kindly let me use there farms to walk on as well and use the buildings for accommodation.
