Review of Homebush Stables

Reviewed 31 December 2016

We stopped off at this farm for afternoon tea and we were well taken care of.

Its about 45 minutes from Christchurch. We just loved the history dating back to 1870. It still has the old brick buildings including the horse stables as the place is named.

If you love museums then you will enjoy the extensive collection of domestic, farming and local artefact's. We noticed collection of Bob Deans 1905 All Black Rugby memorabilia. So if your into rugby this will certainly be of interest to you.

There is a restaurant, souvenir shop, farm animals and the gardens are great and plenty of it.

We wish we had more time to explore, but if you are in the area it's certainly worth a visit.
