Hi there
I've just had three nights in the Wairarapa, renting Fallow Hut, just fifteen minutes out of Masterton (though I took the wrong turn-off and ended up being 1 hour and 20 minutes out of Masterton!). The hut is on a farm, way out in true kiwi country. There was tons of hiking - up really, really, really high hills. But there was also flat land. And a river. There were a few walking tracks and because the farm had what seemed like millions of acres I could wander anywhere on their property. hiking on sheep tracks or pounding through grass.
And oh, those sheep and lambs. So adorable. The funny thing about sheep is how like cats they are. You know when a cat suddenly goes statue-like and just stares at you? Well, sheep are the same, except they do it en masse. They stare... and stare... and stare... Then they turn tail, in perfect synchronisation, and run away
It was possible to see deer. I didn't see any but it didn't matter; the lambs made up for seeing any deer. I did climb up to the top of one of the highest hills , and then when I tried the utmost highest one, I had to give up about 20 paces to the top....
The hut had an en suite, fridge, microwave, most mod cons. It stood in a paddock with sheep all around.
