Minaret Station Highlights

A breathtaking experience at one of New Zealand’s most isolated high-country stations.

Minaret Station is dominated by the effects of glaciation through ice gouged valleys, steep mountain slopes, and extensive ice worn topography. Stretching along 28kms of Lake Wanaka, the entire property has no roads leading to it, creating a unique and isolated farming environment.

Our ultimate guided experience on Minaret Station provides an opportunity to explore the 50-000-acre farm at your own pace.

Choose from a variety of activities, including horse riding, e-biking or hiking.

Combine your experience with lake fishing, a gourmet picnic lunch, and opportunity for further exploration on this private property via 4-wheel drive.

Enjoy a full day that not only deepens your understanding of New Zealand's high-country lifestyle but also highlights Minaret Station’s commitment to protecting and enhancing its biodiversity through pest control and active native tree planting.
