Cradled in the rolling hills of North Canterbury, Tipapa was one of the original Grand Estates of the South Island. A Homestead befitting its stature is surrounded by 500 acres of its own land, and the original Woolshed dating back to 1890 nestles nearby. Today, The Woolshed is a museum with original sheep pens, shearing machinery, wool press, and extensive shearers stencilling marks on the walls. It is also a store selling rare, high-end traceable woollen products, as well as fine wines, and unique speciality products. Everything is 100% made in the South Island.

A visit to Tipapa is an experience of great beauty. Walk to the view point on the land with spectacular views over North Canterbury to the Southern Alps. Relax in the Gallery and adjoining garden, and enjoy a bottle of wine, or a refreshing beer, and a smoko platter. You will leave Tipapa knowing you have experienced a unique and original North Canterbury estate.
