Erewhon Station Tour

Erewhon Station is a 35,000 acre property situated at the foothills of the Southern Alps at the top of the Rangitata River. Erewhon Station was originally made famous by the book Erewhon written by Samual Butler. Your day begins with a scenic journey across the vast Canterbury plains, the largest area of flat land in New Zealand and then heading into the stunning Canterbury high country with its rugged mountain ranges, crystal blue lakes and fresh crisp mountain air. We will stop at Lake Clearwater for morning tea and a photo opportunity with beautiful views looking across Lake Clearwater to the mountains in the distance. Next we will continue travelling back in towards the mountains and past the site of a Lord of the Rings filming location of 'Edoras' on Mt Sunday where we will stop for a photo opportunity before continuing on to the end of the road and onto Erewhon Station itself. Erewhon is a play on the word “nowhere” spelled backwards. At Erewhon you will get to meet the owners of the property, Colin and Erin, this working high country station farms Merino sheep, Hereford Cattle, deer and includes a large Clydesdale Horse Stud. A lot of the work on the property is still undertaken using the Clydesdale horses such as towing wagons and working the fields by towing plows, your time at the property will be spent enjoying a unique Clydesdale horse wagon ride experience and enjoying a picnic lunch in a spectacular setting while soaking in the amazing views. After lunch we will make our return journey back to Christchurch. This is a truly unique experience not to be missed!
