“My husband and I and our friends from Florida took this tour together after I had read the reviews on TripAdvisor. The four of us met over 25 years ago working in the travel industry, and needless to say we have been on many tours in many cities across the world together. Our day with Ward, the owner of Tussock Ridge Farm, will go down as one of the most memorable tours we’ve ever done.
We got to feed wild rescue horses, see innumerable sheep, learn about and get up close to the wind farm on the property— which was incredible, and hang out with Mr. Bumpy, the sheep who thinks he’s a dog. The level of commitment and hard work it takes to have a farm like this was evident, and the way Ward interacted with the animals was pure love. Today, as we toured wineries in Marlborough, we reminisced about yesterday’s tour of Tussock Ridge and all agreed we will be talking about our day there for years to come! Thank you Ward!”

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Without giving too much of the fun away, I would like to HIGHLY recommend going on the Tussock Ridge Farm tour. Ward was so lovely to be around and was very accommodating. He picked us up from our Airbnb and dropped us off at the botanical gardens! He is so knowledgeable of the area and we loved meeting his doggos and of course the famous Mr. Bumpy (aptly named of course). If you have a half day in Wellington this is hands down one of the coolest things to do. 10/10

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Ward is a terrific tour operator and took us on a fun and unique experience. He is extremely down-to-earth and kept an eye out on the forecast prior to the tour, suggesting alternative days to ensure its smooth running. We fed eels, wild horses and enjoyed close contact with sheep. His wife also kindly baked us delicious blueberry muffins. Thanks for accommodating us and ensuring we had a great time - we learnt a lot!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This was a magnificent experience! We choose to drive out ourselves and meet Ward at their farm. This gave us a good discount. We were taken onto a road that was made to build and service 23 wind turbines. As we were driven around, Ward had a wealth ok knowledge on the wind turbines and farming in general. Our first stop was to visit a heard of horses from the Kaimanawa Ranges. We got to feed and pat the horses. We were then taken to stand directly beneath one of the wind turbines, that is an experience in itself. From there we went to a wee cabin that had a direct view of the South Island. Actually from the North Island, the best view of the South Island I've ever seen. We got to feed and pat sheep and actually enter the same area they were and let them run around us as we entered the cabin where we we given hot drinks, fresh baked blueberry muffins and NZ cheese on crackers. We sat in a small cabin enjoyed the view while the sheep ran around. Ward was an extremely knowledgeable tour guide. We had the benefit of having his young daughter join us as she wad opening and closing the gates. It was great to have a child not stuck to her phone or computer. After this we returned to our starting point, Where we got to feed eels 2 of them were 50 and 60 years of age. For people who have been raised in the cith or overseas an absolute gem of a tour. For the current price I think it was very fair. If you're looking for a place away from the hustle and bustle it's close enough to Wellington Central and only a 30 minute drive. This is as Kiwi as it gets. Thank you Tussock Ridge!
