After Hours The experience beyond the pastures

The WS experience for clients and friends exceeds the primary goal of breeding the best quality thoroughbreds. At the edge of our 688 hectares of prime pastures; we are blessed with nature’s waterways and gullies that offer sporting opportunities.

The Y-how Inn, where on-farm Chef Steve cooks up a mean barbeque or whitebait fritters, is perched on the banks of the nearby Sacred Falls Stream that feeds the river. Nearby, Game Gully offers a unique fine-dining experience where Chef Steve displays his versatility by serving-up exquisitely prepared dishes, which more often than not is our WS reared beef.

Game Gully also offers the chance to test your clay pigeon shooting skills. The overall experience provides a rare treat for WS clients which is enhanced not only from jet-boating and clay bird shooting; but a night or two in our stylishly appointed guest lodges of either Hunza or Bunker’s Lodge. The wake of the water depicts the WS client-shared philosophy of having fun on the farm

I want to offer everything and everyone the opportunity to be their absolute best.

Success is so much sweeter when shared. With such an incredible community around us at Waikato Stud, it enables us to all enjoy that feeling of achievement.

I am very proud of our farm and our team. Being able to enjoy all of this together and celebrate when the time is right means so much to us.

They are all very special people, living a very specialised day to day life. I raise my glass to them.

As this is what we live for!!
