Eleven kilometres from Blenheim, nestled in Marlborough's high country is Rod and Sarah Westenra's 52 hectares of farmland. Home to a herd of 28 horses, five spoilt sheepdogs, and three cats. We offer a choice of rides, suitable for novice to experienced riders. We recommend the North Bank (1 hour) or Branch River (11/2 hrs) for family groups. However, rides are restricted to those 12 years and over. We offer short, led pony rides for under 12s.

Mmmm. A visit to our boutique chocolate factories is the ultimate chocolate experience. You can see how we make our delicious chocolates, taste a few samples, and of course shop for gifts and indulgences. Makana® is a Qualmark endorsed visitor activity.
