Mangarara Station is a 610 ha (1507 acre) sheep and cattle farm near the village of Elsthorpe in central Hawkes Bay. We are 4km from one of New Zealands best trout fishing rivers (Tuki Tuki) and the Patangata Pub. The Pacific Ocean can be seen from the top of the farm and the beautiful sandy beaches of Kairakau and Maungakuri are 25 minutes drive.

The closest towns are Waipawa and Waipukurau but it is still only a half hour drive to Hastings and Havelock North with Napier being a further 20 minutes away.

The farm is a nice mix of flat land to rolling hills and steeper hill country. As the farm is managed in January 2008 it carries 2300 breeding ewes plus 600 replacements. All lambs are finished on the property and there are 600 trading cattle.

The property has been farmed since 1850 and was one of the first stations in Hawkes Bay to farm sheep.
