Davaar Station Farm Tours & Country Home - The Key, Te Anau (Southland)

Situated at the base of the Takitimu Mountain range and the gateway to the iconic Fiordland National Park, lies a fourth-generation family-owned and operated farm. The Macdonald family have been farming this land since 1915.
Enjoy one of our farm tours with Smoko, lunch or afternoon tea or stay awhile in our lovely Davaar Country Holiday Home.
The 1100-hectare property is a combination of rugged hill country dotted with native tussocks and grasses as well as flat pastoral land. Both sheep and cattle are farmed here using well practiced sustainable processes, high-quality technology and good old fashioned hard work.
We look forward to welcoming you at Davaar Station!
