We are 20 kilometres north of Fairlie and 2 hours south of Christchurch, in the South Island of New Zealand.

We are 20 kilometres north of Fairlie and 2 hours south of Christchurch, in the South Island of New Zealand.

We no longer offer the 3 day walk/bike loop. We now have two options:
–  2 night stay and 2-3 days walking from the historic Sutherland’s Hut
–  1 night/2 day mountain biking adventure for very experienced bikers. This is still an amazing opportunity to experience a South Island high country station.

WE OFFER A VARIETY OF OPTIONS FOR
BOTH WALKING AND BIKING

explore a landscape steeped in history

back to our roots

There are many places throughout New Zealand where you can enjoy hiking and mountain biking in amazing landscapes. What sets the Four Peaks walking track apart is it’s ability to offer the feeling of pioneering and a sense of where we have come from.

During your walk or mountain bike ride you will stay in our unique Shepherds’ Huts once used by shepherds for mustering and boundary keeping from the 1860s to the 1970s  back when there was little or no fencing in the South Island high country.

Today our Shepherds’ Huts have been refurbished and upgraded to ensure our guests maximum comfort and cosiness. While the huts have been upgraded we have taken great care to retain as much of their original history and charm as possible, giving you a wonderful, authentic experience.

  • A MAGICAL EXPERIENCE

    This walk was a fabulous way to get away from the hurly burly of work! The tracks were well marked, the huts were wonderful – basic but with comfy beds and the total luxury of hot showers and flush loos! Also well written history on each place. The beautiful scenery and peace of the whole station makes this an amazing experience

  • DIVINE

    We did this walk some time ago now and I have meant to write something ever since. We really enjoyed the walk, and the cabins were divine! So cute. The self service bar was a godsend as well. We both had a bath and watched the sunset. Would recommend this walk.
