Group
Pōhatu, on the south eastern corner of Banks peninsula near Christchurch, is the perfect place to make some memories and disconnect - literally disconnect - as there is no cell phone reception.
Rare sheep breed
At Pōhatu we also wish to conserve rare breeds sheep. These include Arapawa, Long Wool Lincoln, Coloured Romneys, Southdown Baby Doll and the beautiful and insanely cute Valais Blacknose sheep. Each one of these breeds have special qualities worth preserving.
We are breeding them all to help saving them and every year have a limited amount of lambs, rams and ewes for sell.
