Friendly fully equipped farmstay accommodation on the banks of the Waihou and Waimakariri Rivers. Two renowned trout fishing rivers (the Waihou and Waimakariri) are on the farm, and are well known for their plentiful stocks of good sized trout. The New Zealand trout fishing team is selected on this farm and numerous fishing competitions are held here.
Between the 26th and 28th March 2008, this farm hosted two sections of the very successful 28th FIPS-Mouche World Fly Fishing Championships. The most fish in a three hour session (37) were caught here on this farm. It was a record for the amount of fish caught in a World Fly Fishing Competition with 4,270 fish caught over the three days.
Both rainbow trout and brown trout are caught here. The fishing is absolutely superb year round - and just a few minutes walk from the farmstay. The fish were counted on this farm professionally by men in wet suits with counting equipment etc. and 1000 fish were counted in one kilometre!
The limit is 5 fish per day, and a licence is required. We have a computer available for you to purchase licences directly from Fish and Game New Zealand's website using your credit card.
An experienced guide is available if required.
The farmstay is a 4 bedroom, fully equipped cottage with king, queen and king single beds, bathroom, kitchen, lounge and dining rooms.
Three bedrooms and a bathroom are available in the main residence, which is a modern, brick home. There is also a Jacuzzi in private grounds for your use.
