Chattan Farm is a 780 hectare sheep and beef farm in the beautiful Bay of Plenty. A large wooden framed luxury tent with wood burning stove, and a quirky camp kitchen and bathroom, sleeps up to five. If you're bringing your horse to ride around this beautiful property, please note that floats and trucks will have trouble making it down the track to the tent, so guest horses are overnighted in a paddock closer to the entrance of the property. Ride the many trails around the property - through pristine bush and many hectares of beautiful farmland.
