A big industry in New Zealand is farming and by including a farm stay experience on your holiday in Christchurch, you can truly get a taste of what life can be like on a working Christchurch 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 are remote and not accessible to anyone other than guests. This means you get to see corners of the country that other travellers won't see and learn more about the history of the region.
Christchurch farm stay accommodation often includes guided tours 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 Christchurch farmstay holiday, 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!
It's easy to find farmstay accommodation in Christchurch online.
