About Lake Heron Station

Lake Heron Station is a working high-country merino farm in the Ashburton Lakes district of inland Mid Canterbury, offering distinctive accommodation, activities and scenic flights across an extensive high-country property. About two hours' drive from Christchurch, it gives guests a remote, exclusive retreat surrounded by mountains and alpine lakes.

Accommodation

Guests stay in restored historic station buildings. Options include the compact Fishermans Hut, suited to a short escape, and the larger self-contained Lake Heron Cottage for families or groups. Evenings centre on an open fire and home-cooked meals, giving stays a genuine farm-hospitality character.

Activities

The station offers 4WD tours of the property, hiking, wild swimming, fishing and bespoke scenic mountain flights across the South Island — experiences that make the most of its remote high-country location.

Suitability for MICE

Lake Heron Station is well suited to small executive retreats, incentive groups and reward travel seeking exclusivity, the outdoors and authentic high-country experiences rather than conventional conference facilities. For incentive planners it offers a memorable, off-the-beaten-track Canterbury option. See more Canterbury accommodation.
