Wharekauhau Farm Tour

Wharekauhau's farm tour runs across a working Romney sheep station set between the Remutaka Ranges and the Pacific Ocean. Guests travel by four-wheel-drive vehicle, departing the lodge at 9.30am for a tour lasting roughly three hours. Along the way, sheepdogs work the flock, shearers demonstrate their craft, and daily farm routines unfold against open pastoral country. It covers the practical, physical side of New Zealand's sheep-farming heritage rather than a staged re-enactment. Guided throughout, the tour suits anyone curious about how a real high-country station operates, with panoramic views of the surrounding countryside included along the route.
