ATV Adventures

Take an ATV Polaris tour to Giant Tōtara (the South Island’s largest tōtara tree). This is an exciting ride through gorgeous farmlands and over rushing rivers. They can then take a short walk to the tree guided by us.

This is an exclusive arrangement we have with a local farmer to use his property for our Polaris excursions.

See untouched bushland, hilltop views and more! It's a great way to get to know what Kaikoura is all about!

Guests can make lifelong memories when they stay with us by stepping out the front door into flight! We have a helipad in the paddock just across from the Lodge.

Guests can book their preferred helicopter company to pick themup from the helipad and drop them off back home.

You could explore the Mt. Fyffe summit behind the Lodge,get a birdseye view of whales, dolphins and other sealife, or take a scenic tour with a special someone.
