Meet The High Country at Welcome Rock. Hike it, bike it, jeep it, sheep it or sleep overnight at it – a visit to Welcome Rock is a unique opportunity to see a real working High Country farm in action. A fourth generation farming family invite you to visit their 2000 hectare family-owned property in Garston. Just 45 minutes south of Queenstown, you can enjoy remote ruggedness in this nationally-protected area. At the base of Welcome Rock, our Green Jeep Tours and Walking Tours are a popular, adventurous way to take in magnificent panoramic views, our rich gold mining history and hear true family stories of working the land. Meet the famous Huntaway dogs that were bred for New Zealand’s rugged high country. Witch, Pip and Tubs love to lick, shake hands and ‘speak’ on your command. If you are up for a thrill, get on board our safe yet gravity-defying Green Jeeps as we take a drive. Or stretch your legs with our easy walking tour or unique cycling adventures.
