With a stunning location just 1 hour from Martinborough, Wharekauhau is set on a working sheep station overlooking 16 miles of dramatic coastal scenery. Ten elegant cottage suites are set throughout the estate with wonderful views of the bay. The Mustering Reality Experience is a prized opportunity to muster sheep or cattle on horseback through superb countryside and coast.
Day 1: Your adventure starts with a fascinating evening introduction to the history of the station and the Wairarapa district.
Day 2: After a big country breakfast, it’s time to explore the stables, choose a steed and tackle, and then enjoy an easy two-hour ride amidst breathtaking country and coastal scenery.
Day 3: Today it’s muster time. Meet the mustering team, mount up and head out along the Wharekauhau River Canyon to the wild coastline and on to Corner Creek in time for a billy-boil up, tea and scones. Then the round-up begins, herding sheep or cattle depending on the time of year, which are then driven until an early lunch. Drive the animals on along the coast and up the final hill to Wharekauhau. The Mustering Reality Experience lasts from 9am until about 4pm. Then there’s nothing to do but luxuriate in the famed comfort of this Country Estate and Lodge for your final night.
