Settled on the western shores of Lake Wanaka, Minaret Station is a working farm, home to some 12,000 deer, 1,300 cattle, and 1,000 sheep. This unique high-country station has no road access which means access to the station is made only by air or by boat. With the towering Minaret peaks above, the station is comprised of a range of land classes including cultivated flats, rolling-downs, steep hillsides, and lush pasture.
