Our guide gave us an interesting and informative introduction to Totara Estate. Following that, we wandered around the site at our own pace. The buildings, artifacts and interactive displays were great! The afternoon tea looked delicious!

Beautiful farm with a fascinating history. The staff were knowledgeable and friendly. Sadly we got there a little late in the day to try the food.

A fascinating look back into New Zealand’s meat production history. Well maintained exhibition rooms and plenty of interesting information. Super friendly staff that even gave an introduction talk and explained how to best experience the place. Super wonderful, thank you for the great time 🙏🥰

This is a hidden gem! I joined the paid walking tour and learned so much about the history of meat export in NZ. The tour guide was very informative and obviously passionate about this place.
The tea and scones set is great, easily the best scone I ever had.
They also have an area with various breeds of sheep, along with info labels about each breed.
I felt this place is very well maintained by a passionate team, I hope this place gets more publicity for more people to enjoy the experience.
