The Farm Shed boasts an authentic feel, with a convenient location just off the main road 6km out of Te Anau. While this farmette may only be 8-acres, it packs a heap of character to give guests a taste of Southern farm life – including a chance to meet some of the friendliest – and cutest – locals!

Meet the locals!
Friendly Farm Animals
Arrive and be welcomed by a rag-tag bunch of friendly farm animals. For various reason, each animal here has needed to be hand-reared, so they are not only use to human interaction, but they thoroughly enjoy it. They are happy for a scratch under the chin, a handful of nuts, or just happy to have their picture taken.

Come on in!
Inside the Farm Shed
Inside there’s plenty of space to take a seat and enjoy a cuppa or ask about our catering options for picnic lunches or a fully-cooked 2-course meal with fresh NZ meat straight from the paddock.

Talk to a REAL farmer!
Sheep Shearing & Farm Talk
Farm Shed visits can also include a sheep shearing demonstration as well as a chance to sit down with a REAL farmer and learn a bit (or a lot!) about the history of farming in NZ, where the industry is now, animal welfare, land management and so much more.
New Zealand produces the cleanest, greenest food in the world, and our farmers are proud of the products they produce, as well as, how well they look after the land, waterways, and animals.
During these chats, you’ll get some facts and figures, but also the opinions and personal stories of the farmer that grew up here – which always includes a few laughs too!
