NZ HUNTING OUTFITTERS

The key to a good hunt?

Your wife's permission.

RED STAG HUNTING + MORE

Sure, you want a challenging hunt with NZ wildlife, impressive acreage and mature trophies. But you don't want a bored wife.

Here at Avon Valley Safaris, our idyllic ranch delivers what others can't: the full package.

Nestled in between ocean, mountain ranges and nearby countless wineries, you'll experience NZ's rugged beauty while red stag hunting on our sprawling ranch, while your wife indulges in one of our bespoke packages to experience the best of NZ:


Winery tour, day spas, whale watching and more.


Sounds better than hunting, right? Well, we wouldn't go that far.

Delicious, we know.

NOT YOUR AVERAGE HOSTS


Who would travel 7000 miles for a weeks-long 'blind date' with people they've never met?


Hunters, that's who.


We get it, because we're hunters too. Addicted to the chase, the challenge and the beauty. But we're also experts in offering high-end, luxurious accommodation, food and travel experiences.


We've owned our family ranch for 7 years now, and our favourite part? Meeting you. Guests are more than visitors to us - they become family. 


From our family to yours, we'd love to welcome you to Avon Valley Safaris.
