Whiterig Farmlet/ Fishermans Retreat

The place

Gore is the Brown Trout Capital of New Zealand!!

Our modern cosy home has breathtaking views across the valley to the bush and mountain peaks on the Hokanui Hills and up the valley towards Queenstown.
You are welcome to gather fresh eggs from the chooks, vegies from our seasonal vegetable garden and tunnel house, feed or just pat the sheep, go for a bush walk, checkout the bees or just relax with a cuppa!
We live on a five acre farmlet, just a couple of minutes drive from historic Gore. Famous for its Hokanui whiskey, brown trout fishing, Country Music Capital, boutique shops and lots of great cafes. Only 45 minutes drive to Invercargill and the Catlins. Dunedin and Queenstown an easy 2 hour drive away. We are located central to lots of tourist destinations. (TeAnau, Milford Sound, Queenstown and Central Otago)

If your a trout fisherman/woman, we are happy to show you a couple of good fishing spots!

A great rest stop on your journey.

Fantastic place to stay and highly recommend. Very helpful hosts and amazing views from the garden. We even got some fresh eggs from the chickens!
Power and water available.

Karen and Ian are the most, most wonderful hosts. So friendly, so warm and with such a wholesome outlook on NZ, travel and life. This was our favourite stay in our NZ trip. Wonderful people and place.

We had a wonderful time at Karen and Ian's. Their garden is lovely and they are some of the nicest people we met during our travels! We got along so well we decided to return. Definitely recommend!

Unforgettable camping experience! The hosts are superb, Karen took our boys to feed sheep, collect eggs, and pick fruit. Kids really enjoyed it. She also gave many traveling tips. Couldn’t be better.

The most wonderful Kiwi welcome here! I felt right at home with such a warm welcome and kindness. Look no further if you need a place to rest on your way to Te Anau or anywhere in the area, the best!!
