Two hours north of Christchurch on New Zealand’s South Island, the estate offers fallow buck, arapawa ram, tahr, chamois and alpine goat as well as red stag. To ensure your experience is of the highest order, the estate only accommodates one hunting party at a time, a maximum of two hunters and two non-hunting companions.

All hunts are designed on an individual basis, allowing ample time for trophy appraisal and selection. To this end, minimum hire is seven days for hunts of one to four species, and ten days for a full bag hunt of six species. Priding itself on accommodation, food and service in the finest of British tradition, the exclusive lodge offers the best New Zealand has to offer.

The southern hemisphere hunting season is the reverse of the northern hemisphere: hunting season opens 1st March and closes 31st August.
