Lodge - Lake Coleridge

Our Lodge at Lake Coleridge is our primary base. A modern, roomy 5 bedroom, 3 bathroom lodge situated at the picturesque Lake Coleridge in the iconic Rakaia Valley in the Canterbury High Country. A pleasant 1 hour and 10 minute drive from Christchurch International Airport. We provide pick up and drop off from Christchurch. Our Lodge is situated in the centre of New Zealand's South Island, amidst spectacular mountain country and on the doorstep of our East of the Alps free range Tahr, Red Stag and Chamois hunting areas. We also have very good waterfowl hunting and fresh water fishing on our doorstep. Our Lodge also serves as the ideal staging point for our West Coast hunts. A pleasant scenic drive from the lodge, or a bush plane flight over the Southern Alps takes us from the Lodge and our Eastern hunting territories to our hunting areas on the western side of the Alps.

Excellent hunting experience

10.0 of 10

James did a amazing job.Seen multiple animals over several days. Several big and mature red stag and Tahr. Tagged out a day early with big mature animals. Food and lodging was excellent. If you want a free range experience and a true hunt. James Cagney is the guy.
