Let us arrange your chosen experience when booking your stay at Holme Station.
Once part of Holme Station neighbouring property Craigmore Station is a 4200h (10,300 acre) farm owned by descendants of Holme Station’s pioneers Edward and Sarah Elworthy.
Get a good sight of farmed sheep, cattle, deer, pheasants and partridge. You will also see at least some of the wild rabbits, hares, wallabies, possums, deer, native pigeons, bell-birds, fantails, duck and other wild animals.
Or enjoy all of these as you make your way inside a valley rock shelter where the fading charcoal images of three giant moa can be seen. The images were created by the Waitaha people who hunted and lived in the shelters 700 - 1000 years ago.
Because of the significance of these drawings, the Elworthy family in the late 1980's arranged for QEII covenants to be put in place to protect the landscape and archaeological features of these sites.
