About
The Range NZ is a working deer and sheep farm tucked away on Rangihouia Road in Te Tii, near Kerikeri, offering visitors an authentic glimpse into Northland farming life. This is a genuine pastoral operation—not a theme park—where you'll meet the animals, learn about sustainable farming practices, and understand what goes into producing quality meat and hides. The owners are passionate about showcasing real farm work, and the property's rural character and honest approach have earned it a perfect 5-star rating from visitors who appreciate the genuine experience.
Expect a hands-on, educational visit that suits families, couples, and curious travellers alike. You'll interact with deer and sheep, often get personal attention from the owners, and leave with a deeper appreciation for local farming. Plan for 1–2 hours depending on how much you want to chat and explore. It's informal and unpretentious—bring kids, wear farm-friendly clothes, and come with a genuine interest in learning. This isn't a slick tourist attraction; it's a real farm opening its gates, which is precisely why visitors rave about it.
The Range NZ fits perfectly into a broader Kerikeri and Bay of Islands itinerary. It's an excellent alternative or complement to mainstream Northland attractions, especially if you're exploring the rural hinterland around Kerikeri's orchards and vineyards. Best visited during spring (September–November) and autumn (March–May) when the weather is mild and animals are most active. It's also a wonderful rainy-day activity if you're flexible with timing.
