Mawheraiti is a 1,400 hectare working farm - we farm deer and cattle. Farmer Hamish is always looking for a gate opener if you want to see more of the farm.
There are lots of things to see and do. Mawheraiti backs on to the Paparoa National Park and the views are amazing and change with the weather. There are also three rivers on the property and each have amazing private waterholes for those summer months. If you're a keen fisherman we can show you some secret places to try. We have over 70 hectares in QE2 covenants and have many hectares of private bush and native forest on the property. Five minutes up the road is one of only a few places in NZ where you can pan for gold without a permit, you’ll find gold pans in the cottage to tempt you to have a go.
Reefton and Ikamatua are both just a short distance away and both have lovely eateries if you're not up to cooking. If you're a keen mountain biker Reefton has fantastic tracks of all levels and distances - you can end the day by visiting Little Biddy’s Gin which is also located in Reefton.
We want you to feel as comfortable as we can so on arrival you’ll find home baking and a bottle of wine waiting for you and there will be marshmallows for the fire pit. We’ve equipped the cottage with games, puzzles, cards and books/ DVD’s just in case you have a rainy day. We would love to share a slice of paradise with you.

Our guests love how private the cottage is but how close things still are.

Hi! We are Katrina and Hamish and along with our children we farm Mawheraiti. We searched for many years for the property we were looking for and fell in love with Mawheraiti. We can’t wait to one day watch our grandkids grow up here. The farm is a work in progress.
We love boating and at the end of a long hot day we will often down to Lake Brunner for a waterski. We hope you enjoy your stay here and look forward to meeting you.
