Accommodation

North Island Ranch House

Situated just 3 mile from the pacific ocean and surrounded by hunting country this is our Mountain Hunters Ranch House. Couples enjoy the privacy of their own secluded cottages with queen beds, cable TV and en-suite facilities. We welcome all groups whether its hunters only, husband and wife teams, family groups and friends. Wendy serves up delicious fresh local cuisine, including lobster and seafood, your wild game, our ranch lamb and beef with quality local wine and beer. You wont go hungry or thirsty around here! 

Enjoy a laid back family atmosphere and plenty of laughs. Kick back in the evening at our fully stocked rustic hunters bar and dining room, watch footage from your days hunt on the big screen,  and tell the tales of adventure. 

“The Bach” - is a kiwi term for holiday house at the beach,  just 1 hour from the Estate is our 16,000 acre free range lease with our rustic 3 bedroom Bach 200 yards off the ocean. With breathtaking views it makes a great getaway for a night or two and some more great hunting and adventures. 

South Island Base

When hunting Tahr and Chamois we will be based at Fox Glacier. Our fabulous hosts Trish and Colin make everyone feel at home in the South. From the dining room guests have a spectacular view of the mountains and Mt Cook, the highest peak in New Zealand at 12,218 ft.

The South Island can be a lot colder than the North so hunters need to have adequate gear for the Southern Alps.  There is plenty to do for the non-hunters or hunters waiting for a break in the weather. Lake Matheson is a photographers dream with crystal clear mirror image of the mountains behind. Walk old mining shafts lit with glow worms, soak at the mineral hot tubs, take a heli flight up to the Fox or Frans glacier, or just sample some of the local beers at the local bar . 

For the Non-hunters...

Non-hunting companions will find New Zealand a relaxing and beautiful country to visit. We offer non-hunters daily sight seeing and touring complimentary! We welcome all groups whether its hunters only, husband and wife teams, family groups and friends.
