Mt Nicholas Farm

The farm is surrounded by breathtaking landscapes surrounded by mountains, thousands of glaciers, ice-carved fjords, forests, alpine lakes and vast snowfields. Indulge in a farmers cheese platter lunch whilst soaking in the panoramic views of middle earth.

About Merino wool:

Merino sheep are one of the most historically relevant and economically influential breeds of sheep that are much prized for its wool. These sheep have lived through extreme environments which resulted in the production of the strong yet luxuriously soft fleece that is highly demanded today.
