"We are only a short distance from Westgate where there are all the fun trappings of civilisation! We are a relaxed, friendly family environment, and you'll meet lots of like minded horsey people. You'll be surrounded by farm life, with dogs, cats, chickens, cows and of course the horses. We enjoy BBQs on the deck in the evening, watching the sunset and we can promise you a friendly, laughter packed holiday. Just bring your sense of humour.!! This is our normal everyday horsey lifestyle, where working and living with horses is perfectly blended with the rest of modern life. We have access to thousands of acres of forest and beach but are close to smaller towns for the essentials. Nothing in the intinerary is set in concrete - we can adapt and change to suit the weather and your needs. By the time you leave you will love our "Wild West Coast" and you will certainly be safe to go trekking anywhere in New Zealand. We have contacts all over the North and South Island and can assist in your travel plans if required."
