Shearvue Farmstay & Farm Experience

Julie and Tony run a 850 acre farm with 2,500 sheep and 300 beef cattle, near Fairlie in the South Island. We love sharing our farm environment with others who don’t have access to space, views, animals, or fresh air – things that we value & have known all our lives. You'll love handfeeding our sheep, pig, dogs, hens, & alpaca, on your free 1 hour farm experience.

By night, enjoy the Mackenzie Region's famous night skies, with thousands of shining stars. Tekapo & Timaru are a 40 minute drive, Queenstown 3.5hours, & Christchurch is a 2 hour drive. Our 2 bedroom cottage sleeps 4 guests. Your stay includes private spa pool and delicious continental breakfast. A beautiful location to enjoy the peace of the countryside and starry nights.
