McFarmers is a small working sheep farm set on the Otago Peninsula with fantastic harbour views. Family run by John, Lynette and their 2 boys, the buildings have a unique touch by John’s handy craftsmanship with wood.
They promote environmental awareness aiming to recycle/re-use and are committed to a zero waste policy, providing recycling facilities in both the Cottage and the Lodge, encouraging travelers to participate.
