History

Fellcroft has been host to six generations of the Crozier family and now it is your turn.

The original Crozier homestead (as shown in the image above) was built in 1862 by Andrew and Mary Crozier. The original Settlers homestead can still be seen from both quarters.

Fellcroft has been a continuously working farm since 1862. Today Fellcroft is engaged in the ethical production of premium lamb and beef.

Best practice, sustainable land management and ethical animal husbandry are at the core of everything we do.

Indeed we see ourselves as the caretakers of this special place and are delighted to be sharing it with you for the first time in our history.

The accommodation programme started in 2018. From the beginning it was important we crafted buildings that were comfortable for our guests but also allowed for minimal aesthetic impact on the landscape, hence the “shearers quarters” aesthetic was born.

This has been central to the design process and has allowed us to use mostly recycled materials throughout the project that have largely been sourced from the farm.
