At Avon Valley, you will find privately owned, authentic preserve and free-range Red Stag hunts and more! This family friendly hunting lodge is nestled in the middle of 9,000 privately owned acres in the heart of the Marlborough high country in the northern part of the South Island. The 9,000 acres consist of a 2,000-acre preserve and 7,000 acres of productive free-range hunting for Red Stag and other species, a rarity in New Zealand. Because of the climate and location, you will have access to world-class wine estates, whale watching, chocolate, and exquisite seafood. This area is also a regular record holder of the sunniest town in New Zealand.
On this property, you will have the opportunity to hunt for a free range red stag, elk, wild goat, arapawa ram, fallow deer, turkey, wallaby, and waterfowl. Located only a few scenic hours away, you may hunt Himalayan Tahr and Chamois on tens of thousands of acres of free-range land.
Many guests enjoy a four-night stay hunting red stag and other species, and then travel with their guide to hunt their Tahr and Chamois. After hunitng, many people enjoy travelling to Queenstown where gorgeous views, Lord of the Rings touring, jet boating, lovely shopping, adventure activities, and more await them.
