HUNTING DOWNUNDER has concessions on both the East and Western sides of the Southern Island of NZ with accommodations ranging from a 3 bunk hut in the middle of prime Stag and Bull Tahr hunting country, 3-4 bedroom rural homesteads, to our 5 bedroom lodging on the beautifully scenic West Coast. So although accommodations will depend on the hunt, we guarantee you a warm, welcoming and comfortable stay!

HUNTING DOWNUNDER specializes in providing you with a ʻtaste of the wildʼ cuisine from the wild animals that we harvest and inhabit the local areas. Maybe smoked eel or freshly fried trout, roast wild duck or marinated venison steaks on the barbeque (grill), we guarantee you your pallet will be satisfied. Fresh vegetables with roast lamb or maybe a good old fashioned rabbit stew, there’s a great variety on our menu – and you wonʼt even have to do any dishes!!

NB We do provide vegetarian, gluten free and vegan meals but extra costs may be incurred due to extra supplies and the separate preparation required.

New Zealand’s No1 industry is tourism, for this reason there is A LOT to do and see for travellers coming to our awesome country. As NZ is basically made up of x2 Islands, it’s not far to drive from one side to the other so quite a few of our clients take extra time when here to either drive from their airport of arrival to where we collect them to start their hunt or, after the hunt, they spend some time exploring the country.

On planning your trip to NZ, we (Carla and/or I) will be more than happy to help with ideas for a vacation full of adventure and/or relaxation!

On the scenic South Island we are fortunate to have majestic views all year round, especially during Autumn (the Fall) with the changes of nature’s colours. As well as world class scenery, not far from our accommodations are quiet little towns that provide shopping and/or relaxing at quaint cafes – or a bar and restaurant! On the other end of the scale extreme adventures eg heli skiing and/or jet boating, are all a short distance away. If you like to do a bit of exploring, local historic gold mines, walkways and museums are here to see, whatever you enjoy Carla and I will be able to help you plan an exciting itinerary for your stay.

The South Island is arguably more scenic than the North with the stunning Southern Alps dividing the East and West providing magestic views all year round. HUNTING DOWNUNDER operates under these Alps on both sides of the divide, so the scenery travelling to the accommodations is worth the trip alone!

Once again, local towns provide great shopping and relaxing in “quaint cafes”, and the exploring of various districts relatively short history (eg visiting old gold mines, historic Church’s, museums etc) is very interesting.
