This invigorating four day walk begins and ends at The Homestead property owned by the Loe family since 1905, currently farmed by Kevin and Carol. Each night is spent at a different private cottage including three cosy kiwi baches at Cape Campbell owned by Rob and Sally Peter.

Thorpelee Homestead	Lighthouse Accommodation

First night:
Before beginning the walk a great night is spent in the comfort of Thorpelee Homestead, a spacious four bedroom villa built in 1910. Take in the history as this location was the centre of activities of the South Island’s first sheep station, Flaxbourne. Enjoy self catering in the private surroundings or walk to the township where you will find the tearooms/shop/service station, the local pub/restaurant and a café with a difference.

Second night:
At the end of your first day walking you reach the haven of The Shirt cottage – a quaint cottage set on a sunny hillside. Relax on the wide deck after the first day’s walk. Fitted with electric stove, refrigerator, bath and shower.

Third night:
Cape Campbell Lighthouse where three cosy baches lie just a stone’s throw from the beach under the protective beams of the lighthouse. Two separate bathroom facilities, as well as two kitchens complete with refrigerators and electric stoves. BBQs are available

Fourth night:
Freeth Estate Homestead, built in 1908, was the accommodation house in Ward before being moved to its present site in 1946. A spacious four bedroom homestead with a log burner, bath, shower, refrigerator and electric stove ensuring a comfortable stay. Wide verandahs and a beautiful cottage garden in which to relax await you.

2 day walkers stay at Thorpelee on their first night, walking to Cape Campbell Lighthouse cottages for the second night, before completing the loop back to Thorpelee the next day.
