Canterbury - Ashburton Farmstay Accommodation
You may know that one of New Zealand's biggest industries is farming and by including a farm stay experience on your holiday, you can truly get a taste of what life can be like on a working New Zealand farm. You'll experience beautiful rural farm settings, fabulously filling and delicious home-cooked food and all the sounds, sights and smells of dairy, sheep and agricultural farming.
Many farms located in the high or back country of either the North or South Islands are remote and not accessible to anyone other than guests. This means you get to see corners of Canterbury - Ashburton that other travellers won't see and learn more about the history of the region.
Guided tours are often offered by the farm's owners or farmers themselves and you may well find yourself exploring by horseback or 4-wheel drive, joining in with the mustering, helping out in the shearing sheds, inspecting the stock, taking riding lessons, feeding the animals and best of all, simply soaking up the country atmosphere.
After your farmstay holiday in the New Zealand bush, don't be too surprised if you end up sporting an oilskin coat, a checked bush-shirt topped off with a wide-brimmed stockman hat. Country life can be very contagious!
