The Beetham family offers tours of their Homestead, Gardens and Buildings. This is the story of a property that became known as Brancepeth, it's development, trials and tribulations, the people who made it and the Beetham's who still farm the land.
About
At Brancepeth we offer a guided two and a half hour walk around tour which includes the original 1856 whare, Stable, Office, and other outbuildings before coming to the front of the homestead and then into some of the front rooms. You will hear the story of how the Beetham Family came to the Wairarapa to take up farming and the success of the venture plus see a large number of the relics of the past. When planning your day it is always good to have another half hour or so to walk around the garden.
