Why we love it
Guide yourself through the rugged landscape of Lake Heron on a hike to truly appreciate how untouched and breathtaking the area is.
Take a 'flight-seeing' tour over the station to see mountains, rivers, glaciers and beaches with a guide who knows the area by heart.
Gain a fascinating insight into everyday life at the station, seeing the woolshed where merino wool is grown and shearn.
Spot the huge variety of birdlife that have made Lake Heron their home, from wrybills to oystercatchers, as well as waterfowl.
Follow the farmers' footsteps by self-driving the network of farm tracks to explore more remote parts of the station.
Make the most of having the lake at such easy disposal - perfect for swimming, dinghy rowing, kayaking or fly fishing for brown trout.
Grab a helmet and hop on a mountain bike to explore the surrounding conservation land through rocky rugged trails with snowy mountain views.
Lesley & Hary
We had such a wonderful holiday. Katie put together a brilliant itinerary, which we tweaked a little in places, and the accommodation she chose was first class. She gave us great recommendations of activities and the whole trip went smoothly. Timings worked well between destinations because she had good knowledge of New Zealand, and the driving distances, car changes, ferry crossings, meeting points for activities were all easily achievable.
