The Highland Hike     

An exclusive 3 day fully-catered and guided journey over Lake Heron Station. Through iconic high country landscapes, we follow the “mustering beats” of early station hands and overnight at 2 remote station huts, reserved exclusively for your group. Our hike is named after “The Highland Home,” the first of these station huts.

This hike is for anyone with a good level of fitness, looking for a special outdoor experience. In keeping with high country tradition, we spend the evenings in a rustic candlelit atmosphere, enjoying delicious meals and great company.

This is big station country – broad vistas, grand skies, pristine streams and clear air. Our hike follows a route, used only by generations of station hands. No well-worn hiking trail, no signs, no route markers and no-one else! Our Highland Hike will give you a sense of exploration and a connection with the early pioneers of this land.

Grade  Moderate/hard

Cost  $1635 per person

The Station Walk     

Explore the charm and history of the station on this three-day guided walk over Lake Heron’s rolling farm tracks. From the southern reaches of Lake Heron to views of the Upper Rakaia Mountains, this walk is a journey through the station’s changing landscapes.

Suitable for groups of up to eight people of an average fitness, the walk takes you on a personal tour of station life. Walking is leisurely and no heavy lifting is required – only daypacks with snacks and clothing need to be carried.

Every evening, visitors take rest in our comfortable, fully-stocked and beautifully restored station accommodation.
