Allow 3 hours from Hanmer Springs via Jacks Pass - do not take Jollies Pass! It is unmaintained and could be dangerous.
And 2 hours from Blenheim (google maps often advises 5 hours and this is not true. We are working hard to get this changed).
+
Due to the unique nature of premises, the 2 bedroom apartment is the only accommodation available for self catering. Unless you are booking the 2 bedroom apartment, then selecting a cuisine package is essential. There are no nearby cafes or restaurants.
+
There is very limited reception once you leave Hanmer Springs and State Highway 1. We do have high speed fibre internet.

🌸 Spring - Our farming calendar runs a little later than usual - and that’s intentional. We time things so that our calves and lambs are born in the best possible weather. Long days and warm sun are ideal, which is why lambing begins around mid-October.
This helps us avoid the risk of late snow flurries here in the high country - which can be a little chilly on newborn feet!
So, our true spring season, when lambs and calves are happily frolicking, runs from late October through to mid-December.
🐑 Please note: During October and early November, farm tours may be limited in where we can take you. We don’t conduct “lambing beats” to give our sheep complete privacy during this time, ensuring they’re not separated from their babies.
☀️ Summer - Peak Season (January to late March) This is our busiest and sunniest time of year. The sun is hot, the hills are often crisp, and the river is the place to be.
Farm tours are in full swing, and a trip to The George Hut, followed by lunch under the willow trees, is always a guest favourite.
🍂 Autumn - From April through to the end of June, the landscape transforms with golden and crimson leaves gently falling to the ground. It’s a peaceful season, cool enough to enjoy our outdoor wood-fired hot tubs, and perfect for roasting marshmallows by the fire pit.
❄️ Winter - A photographer’s dream (July to September) Winter brings snow-covered peaks, low golden sunlight, and plenty of dramatic skies. It’s a dream for landscape and astro photographers, with stunning golden hours and crystal-clear night skies.
