Big Sky tells a mystical tale. The story begins from the ridge line between 111 Moores Road and incorporates Tuhiraki (Mt. Bossu). This story talks of a famous Maori explorer called Rakaihautu. He had been busy creating the lakes of Forsyth and Ellesmere, and when approaching French Farm he thrust his ‘Ko’ or charging stick into the ground at Mt Bossu and Banks Peninsula was born. Nga Tahu Iwi sold their land to the French and the Peninsula started to evolve into the current settlement we know today. In the early 1840s French settlers set their sights on French Farm (historically known to Maori as ‘Te Rautahi’), and began cultivating land. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f102affdf42c155b92d719d/1599043070463-0Z5LX24SHCEFZEU65MAD/Photo+29-06-19%2C+3+53+13+PM.jpg History of Big Sky - When you visit Big Sky you will see the acres of grape vines on our neighbours’ property who carefully tend the vines. It’s not unusual to see their sheep roaming freely through the vines. https://www.bigskynz.co.nz/things-to-do daily 0.75 2020-12-13 https://www.bigskynz.co.nz/faqs daily 0.75 2025-01-24 https://www.bigskynz.co.nz/stargazing daily 0.75 2025-01-14 https://www.bigskynz.co.nz/book daily 0.75 2025-01-14
