Accommodations:

The lodge is a member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World and Andrew Harper’s Hideaway Hotels.
The South Island resorts vary from bed & breakfast to the ultimate in luxury as well! Your package will be catered to your desires and price tolerance! |
Hunting:
On the North Island’s 2500 acre preserve, you will find some of the best red stag hunting in the world! Hunting is by spot and stalk. Various levels of physical abilities can be catered to. In this same area, you will be able to hunt sika and rusa deer.
On the South Island, you will be treated to the ultimate Himalayn tahr and chamois hunts in the world! You will never experience a hunt like this again. It is unforgettable!
Fishing:
They offer world-class fly fishing with some of the country's top guides. They have a diverse range of waters available. Your guide and you will fish some of the most beautiful areas in the country boasting some of the best year-round brown and rainbow trout fishing in the world. For anglers wishing to enjoy boat and fly fishing in the Rotorua region, they offer daily guided fishing ventures with experienced, professional guides, whether it be by 4-wheel drive or helicopter.
For a truly unique experience try their wilderness helicopter fishing; helicopters are at the ready to ferry you directly to a back-country trout fisherman's paradise allowing access into terrain providing unspoilt fishing not easily accessible by any other means. Fly fishers the world over are looking eagerly toward next season in NZ; there has been talk of a mouse plague happening next summer. If this occurs, it will mean lots of big, deep-conditioned, back country trout coming to the net having gorged themselves on mice. With or without the mice, the cicadas will still be in ever-present abundance once the ground has warmed. The fishing will be great.
New Zealand is known for its exceptional fly fishing. The lodge offers fantastic fishing on both islands. Keep in mind that all stream fishing in New Zealand is spot and stalk! A great day may mean that you catch 3-5 fish!
