The Woolshed area is on gentle, flat to sloping ground and easily walked around; however we do have uneven, rocky ground in places so be sure to wear good footwear and take care when walking around outside.
If adding a guided walk to your package – please read the information for the specific walk requested. Our walks require a medium to high level of fitness and are not designed for users that are not familiar with high country environments or undulating walks of over 2 hours.
- Be sure to wear warm, comfortable clothing, and footwear suitable for walking on uneven ground.
- Given our sub-alpine environment, the weather can change quickly, so please bring wet weather gear with you.
- If self catering, please bring snacks, lunch and your water bottle.
