Walk into the Heart of the Coromandel

Six Generations of Stewardship
White Star Station has been in the same family for six generations—over 150 years of sustainable farming and land care in the Coromandel Peninsula.
Our 1,143-hectare working farm balances traditional practices with conservation, including 383 hectares of QEII-protected native bush.
We're proud of this place. We're excited to share it with you. Say g'day if you see us out on the farm.

Taupō“The White Star Trail exceeded all our expectations. The self-guided format meant we could really take our time and soak in the incredible scenery. The farmstay was warm and welcoming, and the bush cabin felt like a true wilderness experience. Can't recommend it highly enough!”

Christchurch“We had a fantastic time on the Whitestar Trail. The hospitality and care of those running it was outstanding. You felt so welcome and warmly cared for - each morning and evening Nick came to see how you were going and if you needed anything and he communicated with us regularly while we were hiking. The food was wholesome, delicious and you certainly never went hungry! The accommodation was wonderful - comfortable with great facilities and each one was unique.”

Whitianga“As locals, we thought we knew the Coromandel well, but the White Star Trail showed us hidden corners we'd never discovered. The combination of coastal views, native forest, and genuine hospitality made this magical. The waterfall swim on Day 2 was a highlight we'll never forget!" Great food and comfortable beds sealed the deal.”
