Glencree Lodge is a hunter’s paradise. Offering luxury accommodation on the spectacular east coast of New Zealand’s south island, the lodge is situated near the small coastal town of Kaikoura, with magnificent views of the surrounding mountains and the Pacific Ocean.
The cuisine at Glencree is traditional New Zealand dishes with emphasis on fresh, wholesome cooking of wild game and fresh seafood, with lobster regularly on the menu. All dinners are complimented with superb hand-picked NZ wines.
Owners Mike & Deborah Wilks have applied proven game management principals to both their 4000 acre hunting estate area and their 100000 acre sole hunting concession, resulting in outstanding world class trophies of Red Stag, Elk, Tahr, Chamois, wild boar, fallow buck, Ram and feral goat.
The red stags hunted on Glencree are known for their world class, quality, huge mass and width. Red stags are hunted from March through to August, March and April being the rut for stags, Elk (Wapiti) and Fallow Buck.
Mid-April through to August is a prime to time to hunt Bull Tahr & Chamois as this is when they are in their rut and have their full winter coats. Wild boar, ram and goat are hunted all season. Other small game such as duck, rabbit, hare and possum are also available in abundance.
South Pacific Safaris New Zealand not only offers world-class trophies, there is also excellent sea and river fishing right on your doorstep. Many options are also available for non hunters such as swimming with huge pods of dusky dolphin, whale watching, winery tours, bush or coastal walks and bird watching, just to name a few.
As a professional hunting guide with over 30 years experience in New Zealand, Mike looks forward to sharing his knowledge with you and gives his personal commitment to professionalism, outstanding service in the achievement of world class trophies for his clients.
