Dependent on the occurrences on the farm during the time of your stay but we will endeavor to make available a farm tour so you can see the workings of a hill country sheep and beef farm, have a look at our little river hut, check out the Narrows on the Rangitikei River, have a look at our native bush which has been put into QEII covenant recently, and on a fine day check out the views of Ruapehu in the distance. This would be either in a side by side vehicle or as a passenger on a quad bike
Let the farmer take you out to look for a deer. We have red and fallow deer both on our farm - you just need to know where to look! You will be given the option to shoot a meat animal depending on what presents itself.
If needed and at extra cost, a lesson can be provided in skinning and butchering your animal and any meat that you get is yours to take home.

Great location to spend some downtime. Roger and Kylie are great and are really accommodating. The guided hunt was a great experience. I will definitely be back.

We had a fantastic time at 'Love Shack' we were lucky to have perfect weather. Roger was very generous with his time taking my partner out hunting 3 times and he got his first deer which was a highlight. Beautiful farm and a rustic cottage. Loved it!

About your host, Kylie
We are a farming family located in the hill country east of Taihape. We work hard but we do also like to play - dad goes hunting and mum likes to run and manage her beehives. The kids (two wee farm boys) are often found outside building things, playing in the sand pit or shooting deer with their stick guns.
