Home grown and fresh local cuisine are always on the menu. Tony is a well-known fly fishing guide with many years of experience and local knowledge, which he shares happily with enthusiasts. Heli-fishing from the property is easy and popular. Although Kawhaka Lodge is a wonderful getaway with a glacial view, swimming hole in the bush, wood pigeons and tuis ready to chat; civilisation is not far away.
