Aotea Homestead

The beautiful Aotea Homestead was built in 1914 and has recently been lovingly restored. Aotea Homestead is the prefect place for a getaway with family and friends. Located on a working sheep & beef station in the Hinakura Valley, 25 minutes drive from Martinborough.

With no cell phone reception and limited wifi, it is the perfect place to enjoy quality time with each other. Linen and towels are provided so all you need to bring is your food.

There is an unmarked lawn tennis court, great sandpit for the kids and outdoor games. Guests are welcome to enjoy a walk on the farm, where there are animals to feed especially around springtime. The river is nice and close complete with a lovely swimming hole and the rugged coast line is only a 20 min drive down the road. There are also horse treks 40 mins away. If the weather isn't great there are board games available and sky tv to watch.

There is also seasonal fruit available, and our water is sourced from a natural spring.
