At Fox Creek, we invite you to experience the West Coast the way locals do. Nestled between the Southern Alps and the Tasman Sea, our farm is rich in history, stories, and the natural beauty that makes this place unlike anywhere else.
What began as a family farm has grown into a way for us to share the land, its heritage, and its flavours with visitors from around the world. From tales of the Gold Rush to the rhythms of farm life, we offer small-group tours that connect people with both the past and the present.
Whether you’re joining us for a guided walk, a tasting experience, or an evening under unspoiled dark skies, we promise a warm welcome and an authentic connection to this special part of New Zealand.
Our Story
After years of living and travelling away, we returned to the West Coast with fresh eyes, struck by the raw beauty of the mountains, the sea, and the stories hidden in between. Stepping back from the routines of farm life allowed us to truly appreciate what makes this place extraordinary and inspired us to share it with others.
Charlotte was born and raised on the farm and now carries forward her family’s traditions with a vision for the next generation. She and husband Sam are raising their daughter alongside their cattle, chickens, dog, and the native wildlife that call this place home. Summers are spent swimming in local rivers and living in tune with the rhythms of the land and water. Having travelled widely, Sam and Charlotte understand the curiosity visitors feel when discovering a new place, and delight in connecting people not just with the land, but with the real locals who make this community unique.
Every experience at Fox Creek is carefully tailored to visitors’ interests. Small-group adventures offer glimpses of farm life, local history, and hidden gems all shared with warmth, insight, and a deep love for this extraordinary land.
