Hunting (Unlimited wallaby hunting.)
Imagine stepping outside to some of New Zealand’s most
dramatic landscapes.
Kaiwarua Station is in a valley in the high country of the South Island of N.Z situated in the iconic Hunter Hills of South Canterbury. We are New Zealanders who have a family working station. The Station is spread over many thousands of acres of high country land which holds over 13,000 stock units consisting of merino sheep, deer, and cattle. We have two crystal clear rivers running through our property and our own airstrip for those of you wishing to drop in by helicopter or private plane.
