Tussock Ridge Farm Tours

FANTASTIC experience! There is plenty to keep us busy during this private tour. We enjoyed seeing the wind turbines, feeding the pet sheep, wild horses and eels. The animals are very cute and full of character. Also got to pet his cute dogs and meet his lively family! The views are amazing and we even got to see a bit of the South Island despite the clouds and rain. Ward is very friendly and we had a great chat while waiting out the rain in his cabin, enjoying hot tea and delicious blueberry muffins while learning more about sustainable farming and general life in NZ. You can definitely feel his passion and love for the farm life, and for the animals. Would recommend

Ward the farmer was so warm and friendly and open to talk about everything I felt like the 3 hours we spent together I got to know all about New Zealand and everything that makes her tick and experienced all the beauty and the animals all-at-once. it was a true cultural immersion

This was an exceptional experience that we highly recommend. Not only do you have the opportunity to see the breathtaking landscapes of the region, but you also get to learn about the important role of farming in NZ, sustainable farming practices, wind-powered energy, and the animals that call Tussock Ridge home. Ward is a wealth of information and extremely charismatic, and it was amazing to being able to get the tour from the expert who runs the farm. His passion and love for the farm is evident at every turn, both in how he talks about the land and as you see it for yourself, and makes this tour unforgettably special. This was the highlight of our time in Wellington, and we encourage other visitors to go on this must-do tour!
