Shaun Monk is the kind of person that personifies the "great outdoors" of the NZ countryside, one that you meet when catching a breath on a trek or on a over night stay in a remote tramping hut and telling a yarn or two. Shaun is the person who will greet you when you visit Island Hills Station a working high country station farmed by the fourth generation Shand family.
Located in North Canterbury only 20 minutes inland from the historic Hurunui Hotel on the way to Hanmer Springs and amid rolling green hills of the Hurunui, the farm hosts visitors for achievable walking, hunting and conversation opportunities.
You will find that the main feature of this mountainous property is a scenic and diverse 30km tramping trail with unique accommodation, BBQ and dining facilities, hot showers, comfortable bunk beds and plenty of privacy. Shaun Monk who has walked through a lifetime of back country adventures all over New Zealand from multi-day solo hikes to back pack hunting adventures, will be your guide.
