Wharekauhau, Palliser Bay, New Zealand

Set on a 5000 acre working sheep station overlooking spectacular Palliser Bay on the south-east coast of the North Island, Wharekauhau (pronounced Forry-ko-ho) blends stunning scenery, an array of outdoor activities, luxurious accommodation and wonderful food and wine to offer the ultimate wilderness retreat. 

Despite its wild location, Wharekauhau is easily accessible – just a ten minute helicopter flight or a 11/ 2 hour drive from Wellington (either in your own vehicle or by private transfer). Perfect for families, there are also two 3-bedroom houses on the estate (own transport is recommended as the houses are some distance from the main lodge).
