Kawhaka Lodge is nestled under the breathtaking backdrop of the Southern Alps of New Zealand and built to complement the natural environment, offering luxury West Coast boutique accommodation for independent travellers or the fly-fishing experience of a lifetime. The experience is elegant yet rustic. View native birds and wildlife in their natural habitats. With it’s own stream running close to the doorstep, Kawhaka Lodge rejuvenates your spirits. Westland is home to some of the finest wild Brown and Rainbow trout in the world and offers a natural beauty uniquely New Zealand. The challenge of hooking trout can be provided by legendary guides whose knowledge is backed with years of experience. Travel off-road in a four-wheel drive vehicle and experience outstanding locations and the thrill of stalking trout in the crystal-clear, snow fed rivers, spring creeks and lakes. Helicopter fly-in to remote areas is available from the lodge and a further reminder that this wilderness offers a unique fishing experience.
