Had a wonderful stay at the Sheep Shearers Retreat. Lovely homely touches like fresh flowers decorated the place. We were unsure what to expect about the area and were really pleasantly surprised. The farm is really large and a huge amount of work has gone into providing cards with suggested walks around the property and maps marking out trails and places of interest on the farm. The weather was pretty wild during our stay but this seemed to only add to the beauty of this wilderness retreat. The family were really welcoming and it was great to meet Andrea when we walked up to the homestead. For anyone looking for a unique and 'off grid' experience on their NZ travels I would highly recommend the Sheep Shearers Retreat.
