Blue Mountain Station is a fully operational Merino station. Our shepherds and stock are frequently moving around the farm. We love to have visitors but we must be able to continue the day to day running of the station. We ask anyone staying at the Cook Shop to keep us up to date with their daily plans so that we can avoid clashes between farming activities and visitors.

All groups must carry a Personal Locator Beacon or Emergency Locator Beacon whilst exploring the farm. Please bring your own or hire one of ours for free. Download NZ TOPO South Island App on your phone before arriving.

For safety reasons we must know where people are on the farm. We may ask guests to avoid certain areas of the farm on any day. We may also restrict vehicle movements around the farm due to the weather.
