A culinary experience.

As a working station (ranch) High Peak is much more than a hunting lodge. We are proud of what we produce here and it is our pleasure to share it with you.

We think a good hunting trip requires a few vital ingredients – good people, good land, good people, good animals, a good bed and good food. New Zealand produces some of the best red meat in the world and High Peak is proud to offer grass-fed lamb, beef and venison, along with our own wild honey. We combine these elements with the best local produce and seafood for a uniquely local dining experience.

Your own private chef.

At High Peak we have two superb chefs for our guests. Hilary and John alternate between hunts and bring decades of cooking experience to the table.

The intimate nature of our lodge, with a maximum of 12 guests at any time, means we can cater to most dietary requirements and preferences. As long as we know in advance (as we are a bit of a drive from the shops), we can cater for pretty much anyone. Meals usually constitute a cooked or continental breakfast, packed field lunch and three-course evening meal.

Think of it as having your own personal chef for a week!

Excellent local beverages.

In keeping with our ‘local’ theme, we are proud to offer quality beverages from our region.

We supply wines for some of the best Canterbury vineyards, Pegasus and Main Divide, with beer supplied by Blenheim-based craft brewery Moa. These are supplemented by a bar featuring a range of local and international spirits. We also supply an extensive range of non-alcoholic beverages.

Beverages are included as part of every High Peak package.

Sharing our experiences over dinner.

The lodge dining table is a central part of the High Peak experience. Each evening, where hunting allows, we sit down together to share stories from the day’s adventures.

When you hunt with us, we invite you to bring your experiences and stories literally to the table. Every hunt is different, as is every hunter, and we want to hear your story.

What our customers say

My New Zealand trip / hunt was the hunt and experience of a lifetime. The entire experience was perfect! Simon and all of the staff at High Peak were the best. Greg was a super guide and my stag was magnificent. I also got a nice fallow deer. I would recommend this hunt to anyone. Thank you.

Our stay in New Zealand was everything we wished for. My wife and I enjoyed the great hospitality that you and your guys showed us. The food was excellent. Greg did a super job getting us on the animals we wanted and my wife had a great time and was well taken care of.
Thank you for the great memories you gave us.

Good Afternoon Gentlemen,

I just wanted to take another moment now that we’re back stateside to say thank you again. That trip and the week of hunting was absolutely incredible and I couldn’t have dreamed up a better experience! Everything about the hunt was phenomenal and will forever be a high memory of mine. The wait was long to get down there but it was worth every moment of it. I truly hope that I’m able to make it down there again to experience it all over again with you guys!

Thank you & Take care!
