Bollands
Bollands, the well-known station of the late Mr. W. H. Levin, is a magnificent estate on the Taueru River of 12,600 acres. It is well fenced, subdivided into well-watered paddocks and carries 15,000 sheep and 800 head of cattle. The homestead is charmingly located, surrounded by beautiful clumps of trees in great profusion and is justly considered one of the loveliest spots in the Wairarapa.
