The Quarters

Newly renovated while maintaining the uniqueness' of a shearers quarters, with no internal doors you will have to step out onto the porch and take in the farm scenery each time you pop to your room. The Quarters can be a cozy spot with heaters in each room and the beautiful Oamaru stone keeping the  heat in, while in the summer that same stone helps keep the Quarters nice and cool making it a great all year round destination.  The Quarters was once a hive of activity at shearing time but now that shearers don't stay on farm it was time to update it and use it to share our stunning home with you. Its the ideal spot to unwind, sitting on the porch in the morning sun with a good book is a moment hard to beat. 

While staying at the Quarters you'll find a map showing you multiple short or longer walks that you can enjoy whenever you want. There are walks for all fitness levels with flat or hill options. Kenmore is a beautiful peaceful place that we love to share with people. You may come across stock on your walks but they will not bother you.

To get the full experience of Kenmore Station book a farm tour. The tours consist of a loop walk guided by one of the farmers, they will tell you all about the farm and answer any questions you might have. If you or someone in your group is unable to walk the tour it is possible to organize a vehicle but we can only fit 4 guests in the truck so please do get in contact if this is something you may require. There will be some stunning views and finish up with a dog working demonstration. You'll get to see a huntaway and a heading dog working some sheep. While enjoying the show you will also get a chance to enjoy some home baking and a cup of tea. The tours are by booking, click below to book your tour.

When booking with us we offer a couple of options for you to try some of what we produce here on Kenmore. You can order a platter which believe this is the best way to sample Kenmore. We are lucky to have a fabulous local butcher who can turn the wild venison and pork that comes form the farm into delicious Salami and Beer Sticks. Along side the wild venison salami there is some beautiful Whitestone cheese and locally produced chutneys. Its the perfect way to unwind at the end of a day. When booking this service please let us know what time you would like the platter.  The other option is a cook it yourself Sausages and mash deal. The meal offers 2 sausages per person these are wild Venison and Pork and flavored all caught off the farm, some home grown potatoes and a gravy. You can prepare it however you like, use the BBQ, Stove top or airfryer to put your own spin on the classic meal. Both of these animals are pests here so its great to remove them and not waste them. 

While staying in the Quarters there is also a continental breakfast provided with gluten free options being provided. The Platter and sausages cannot be done Gluten free as we cannot guarantee the meats are gluten free friendly, we apologize for this.
