Fodor's Review:
Watch where you walk on this estate -- that white stone you see might turn out to be a marine dinosaur fossil. This spectacular deer and sheep station is up the Waipara Gorge, a 10-minute drive inland from Amberley; its luxurious homestead was built from limestone quarried on the property in the late 1860s. The five lodge rooms are furnished with antiques, so families with children under 14 are encouraged to stay in the nearby self-contained cottage. A four-wheel-drive tour is thrown in with the price if you're staying two or more nights. Room TVs are available on request.
