'Meet Kiwis' Lifestyle Experience

The 'Meet Kiwis' lifestyle experience is a great way for you to enjoy real New Zealand farming lifestyle on a real New Zealand farm. This experience is ideal for people on a busy schedule who are unable to overnight on a farmstay, but wish to try a number of 'hands-on' activities together with local people who have common interests with their guests.

The 'Meet Kiwis' lifestyle experience is possible for groups of 2 - 40 people, in Cambridge in the North Island, and in Ashburton in the South Island. Other areas may be available upon request.
