The lodge

Our private lodge sits right on the ocean’s front door, nestled on the East Coast of the North Island of New Zealand: your base for the whole hunt.

On the water’s edge

Wake to the ocean, hunt the hills, and be back for dinner watching the swell roll in. Few hunting lodges anywhere sit this close to the sea.

World-class hosting

Joe and Lisa are your hosts, and Joe is your guide as well. Expect genuine East Coast hospitality, comfortable rooms and meals worth coming back for.

Fishing on the doorstep

With the ocean at the front door, fishing is part of lodge life: a perfect rest day between hunts, or a whole “Blast & Cast” trip alongside a turkey hunt.
