Airstrip Stays by Tiny Away

Summary:
Welcome to the high country at Airstrip Stays. Our retreat is tucked away on Bauchops Hill Station, just an hour’s drive from the port city of Timaru. Soak in whiffs of fresh country air on the edge of the Mackenzie Basin as the friendly bleating of sheep and mooing of cows accompany you.

With a vast landscape, scenery, and farm animals by your side, you can be sure this countryside stay will capture your restless soul as you unwind in peace.
