Our peak season is during the cherry export season from early December (usually the first week of December) until late January/early February during which time we employ up to 200 seasonal staff.
Outside of the cherry season, we have a variety of roles including harvesting summerfruit & pipfruit, pruning and thinning – although we only employ up to 10 seasonal staff for these roles.
Suncrest Orchard is located just outside of Cromwell (a 5-minute drive, 20-minute bike ride or 1 hour walk).
Whatever the season there is something to enjoy in and around Cromwell. Whether it’s fishing, swimming or boating on Lake Dunstan, walking one of the numerous walking trails, enjoying the 4 Barrels Walking Wine Tour, cycling the newly opened Lake Dunstan Trail, a visit to one of the many local cellar doors, or exploring gold mining relics, there is a choice of pace and things to do when you are not working.
We are also less than 1 hour’s drive from both Queenstown and Wanaka so are a great place to base yourself at any time of the year.
