Manaaki Farmstay is situated at the foot of Mount Evans within the volcanic rim of Lyttelton Harbour. Breakfast on the veranda overlooking the bay and soak up the silence but for the native birdsong and sound of grazing sheep. Take a walk through our 50 acres of olive groves, tussock grasslands and native bush, or climb a hill or a mountain close by. We are located just 1km from a safe swimming beach, boating and kayaking and 2km from Diamond Harbour, cafe, bar and restaurant. An 8 minute ferry ride across the harbour will take you to Lyttelton, shops cafes and harbour wildlife dolphin cruises. Golf,horse riding and mountain biking are all within a few km.

Relax after a day of discovery, enjoy the magical sunsets, taste the produce from our bees, organic orchards and gardens sipping on a glass of fine wine as the night sky unfolds.
