Glentanner Station
Glentanner Park Centre is set amongst a working high country sheep station, Glentanner Station. While you are at Glentanner you might be lucky enough to come across a Mount Cook “traffic jam”.

Glentanner Station is 45,000 acres and carries 9,000 Merino sheep, 200 Hereford cattle and 230 Red deer. The run was taken up in 1858 by the Dark brothers and extended from Boundary Stream in the South and included the Mount Cook National Park in the North. Two lake raisings and the Department of Conservation grazing policy have meant that Glentanner now runs from Whales Stream in the South to the Mount Cook National Park boundary in the north.
The Ivey family came to Glentanner in 1957 and continue ownership today. |
