The Waipara Valley is the 4th largest wine region in New Zealand and the closest to Christchurch, only a 45 minute drive from the city center.
Located in the beautiful Waipara Valley where the river runs out of its limestone gorge, Limestone Hills is a small farm where Gareth & Camille Renowden grow truffles, grapes and olives. The Shearer's Cottage at Limestone Hills is available for rental year round.
The Weka Pass Railway was founded in 1982 to restore, maintain and operate a 12.8km section of the start of the Waiau branch that was closed in 1978.
It operates trains over this section using its fleet of heritage rail vehicles such as two DG class diesel-electric locomotives (made in 1956), an A class steam locomotive (built in 1909) and heritage passenger carriages.
