Free Wifi Wifi in the sounds is limited, we run on a copper network which can be slow and limited at times.

In spring, the ewes and their lambs often graze the grassy areas on the track and wander back home when full. They are not fenced and don't wander far from home. They are a great experience when staying Cute Piglets Every year we raise 2 piglets.

Miners Farmstay & Campground WELCOME TO MINERS FARMSTAY & CAMP GROUND ENDEVOUR INLET Set in a beautiful family orchard, Miners Farmstay and Camping Ground is a remote farm accessible by hiking the Queen Charlotte Track or by water taxi from Picton. We are a perfect spot to stop and unwind on day one of the three day hike along the track or even base yourself at Endevour Inlet and explore parts of the track from the comfort of Miners Farmstay & Camp ground. If the challenge of the three day walk is calling, we provide free bag pickup service from our wharf for our guests which can be arrived before you arrive. Our Farm Graham and I purchased Miners Camp in 2016 for its beautiful location and its proximity to the Queen Charlotte Track. Our goal has been to work towards turning it into a sustainable farm, providing as much of the food we and our guests eat while increasing the protection of the land, water ways and wild life of this beautiful area. We thrive on being sustainable but also providing a unique farm experience on the Queen Charlotte Track for hikers to stop and unwind whilst enjoying our farm.
GUEST REVIEW Staying here was one of my highlight on the Queen Charlotte track. Gillian and Graham were such wonderful hosts and I enjoyed staying in the bunk room. I even got to walk around the farm to see all the animals and bottle-feed one of the lambs. It was so nice to chat with the hosts and learn about the region and hindsight I wish I hadn't had my own food with me as Gillian's freshly prepared meals looked so yummy! A great place to stay at!
