Food and Accommodation
Ica Station Homestead
We welcome you to Ica Station Homestead, Whareama, on your first night, anytime between 3 & 6pm. Here, depending on your group size, you will be accommodated in one of our stand alone self-contained cottages (India House or Ica Whare) or with us, in the main Homestead
B & B rooms. Your first evening meal will be in the accommodation when you arrive, requiring only the minimum input from you - perhaps heating something in the oven or cooking something on the BBQ.
Ica Station Homestead is at the end of a 'no exit' road, so there is plenty of private and secure parking. Please make yourselves at home and enjoy the quiet, peaceful atmosphere Ica Station Homestead and grounds has to offer. Your hosts will be here to welcome you when you arrive and provide a short group briefing at approximately 6pm and explain the walk.
For our fully catered walk option, we use as much locally sourced fresh produce as we can to give you delicious home-cooked meals. We provide you with all the provisions for a continental breakfast, picnic lunch, afternoon tea and an evening meal with dessert.

Your 3rd night is spent back at our Ica Station accommodation. Here on a hot day you can cool yourself down with a dip in the swimming pool...... or soothe those aching muscles in our outdoor spa pool!. In the evening you have the option to dine 'Al Fresco' under our gazebo with outdoor fire pit, so it really won't matter what the weather is doing!.
