Nestled in a tranquil valley, the Kaituna Valley Homestead is lovingly cared for by Sharon and John Robertson. Built in 1900, this grand old house exudes the charms of a bygone era while utilising all the comforts of modern living. The property is set on 29 acres of unsurpassed rural landscapes.
John and Sharon Robertson have four grown up children. They share a passion for hospitality and for the peaceful countryside. It has been a long held dream of theirs to own a place like the Kaituna Valley Homestead and now that they are here, they have been working hard to create a haven for guests. Along with the bed and breakfast, John and Sharon have a walnut orchard, some sheep and cattle and an extensive garden. There is also an original orchard that they are quietly restoring in their spare time!
Banks Peninsula The Banks Peninsula area is full of history and beautiful scenery. There is a wealth of different experiences available for all tastes, from the energetic to the more sedate! Visit the scenic town of Akaroa, walk the hills or explore the beaches. The PackHorse Hut The beginning of the walk to the Packhorse hut is situated a short distance from the homestead. It's an easy walk to the hut where you can see stunning views of the valley and surrounding countryside. The Little River Rail Trail We have bicycles available if you are interested in doing this lovely ride or you can walk it if biking isn't your thing. Sharon can drop you off at Motukarara or pick you up as required.
