Mt Prospect Luxury Accommodation and High Country Station Experience
Offering luxury accommodation to the discerning traveller
Offering luxury accommodation in the homestead, Mt Prospect Station is truly a unique experience for discerning travelers wishing to meet real New Zealanders and experience life on a high country sheep and beef station in New Zealand. The 3,400-hectare (8,500 acre) station has been in the Cockburn family since 1913 and is now run by Ross & Joan Cockburn and their son Grant and wife Rachel. Ross & Joan have been hosting guests in their home for eighteen years and in 2000 extensively altered and refurbished the homestead to provide a greater sense of luxury and comfort. Mt Prospect High Country Homestay is a perfect base to visit any of Fiordlands attractions with the resort town of Te Anau only 15 minutes away, a spectacular two-hour drive in to Milford Sound and 30 minutes from Manapouri, the starting point for a visit to Doubtful Sound.
	Accommodation Situated in the private guest wing in the homestead, the four guest rooms are all beautifully appointed with king or twin beds, spacious ensuite bathrooms and french doors opening to private patios. An enchanting view from each room of the extensive country garden and views of the spectacular Murchison Mountains will encourage you to relax and enjoy the peace and serenity of your surroundings.
Dining In the evening, join your hosts for aperitifs and complimentary fine Central Otago wines before sitting down to a superb three-course high country cuisine dinner. For breakfast, enjoy a leisurely cooked or continental breakfast, and for those spending the day on the station, lunch is available by request.
