Sika, Sambar, Rusa Red Deer Game Preserve Hunting

Hunt Description

Kaweka Hunting offers exceptional game preserve hunting in our natural deer habitat. Sika, Sambar, and Rusa are only available on the North Island of New Zealand. At Kaweka Hunting we are fortunate that Rob Holt has spent a number of years breeding exceptional herds in these three species plus Red Stag. As a result, the genetic quality amongst all herds is excellent, with our exotic herds widely considered to be superior.

The advantages of hunting our large private New Zealand game preserve are many. For example, our hunters do not have to spend hours in vehicles every day traveling to different areas to hunt a combination of South Pacific deer species, our elegant lodge is at your fingertips at all times and our location in Hawke’s Bay affords us an awesome climate and convenience for non-hunting companions.

When you choose to hunt on our Game Ranch, you are also choosing peace of mind. Your hunt can be as demanding as is appropriate for your fitness and ability, it can include any combination of species and your guides have a ‘lifeline’ to our lodge at all times. When you travel overseas to hunt, these assurances are priceless.

All trophies taken at our Game Ranch in our spectacular hunting area ranch make the record book.

Deposit is non-refundable
REFUND OF DEPOSIT As a rule, deposits paid to Kaweka Hunting Ltd are non-refundable, therefore Kaweka Hunting advises all hunters to purchase travel/hunt insurance. Exceptions to this rule are occasionally made but only in the case of exceptional circumstances where appropriate supporting documentation is supplied to Kaweka Hunting who will make a decision based on a case-by-case basis. SHELF LIFE OF DEPOSIT Deposits paid to Kaweka Hunting will retain their value 100% for a length of 3 years from date of payment. After 3 years, the deposit loses 25% value per year. NOTIFICATION OF CANCELLATION Kaweka Hunting Ltd must be notified directly of any cancellation by November 1 on the year before the contracted hunt date. Hunt dates can be freely altered without penalty until November 1. After November 1, the cancellation will be regarded as ‘short notice’. SHORT NOTICE CANCELLATIONS The hunter may incur a penalty of 25% of the contract value if the hunt dates cannot be ‘re booked’ by new contracts. Hunters are welcome to send another hunter in place of oneself if cancellation is the only other option but the hunt cannot be publicly sold or advertised (ie, E-bay, classified ad). Remaining deposits will be transferrable to a hunt the following year, with the applicable pricing for that year to be in effect – any increases for the rescheduled year will be payable by the hunter. The re-scheduled date is at the discretion of the hunter. REDUCTION IN PENALTY FOR SHORT NOTICE CANCELLATION Hunters who have cancelled with short notice may elect to be allocated dates for the rescheduled hunt for a 10% reduction in penalty from 25% to 15%. Date allocations for rescheduling will be made available between November 1 and November 10 each year on a ‘first come first served’ basis. TRANSFER OF DEPOSIT TO ANOTHER DATE IN SAME SEASON If a hunter needs to alter a hunt date to another date within the same season, this can be done without any financial penalty provided the alternate date is available.

Accommodation & Travel

Accommodation description:

The lodge features a welcoming and comfortable communal lounge; here you can relax with a drink, watch television, or enjoy some banter with fellow hunters around the open fire. There is a separate quiet area for reading a book or catching up on the emails from home. The large kitchen offers the opportunity for clients to sit informally around the “huge bench” for casual meals or “coffee”

In our New Zealand hunting lodge, our guest rooms are exquisite. All guest rooms feature king or queen size beds with modern en suite bathrooms and air conditioning. They are so restful that ‘non-hunters’ will be tempted to lie in every morning! Our hunting lodge also provides some additional relaxation options with a large hot tub and sunny outdoor decks.

At our New Zealand hunting lodge, guests appreciate our warm, friendly, relaxed ambience and service. Our evening dinner, served in the formal dinning room, include delightful, traditional New Zealand food with venison frequently featuring on the menu. All evening meals include the complement of our quality regional wines.

Kaweka Hunting Lodge offers hunters a fabulous place to relax and rest after the rigors and excitement of a days hunting. It offers both hunter and non hunters a super place to unwind and experience the best that nature has to offer.

Retreat to your own guest room, so relaxing and comfortable, you will be refreshed for the next days activities. Each room is air conditioned with modern ensuites.

Lounge

Join us in the lounge for a local wine or a drink. Our spacious lounge is an excellent spot to relax and discuss the day’s activities in front of our warm fire.

Dining

Enjoy New Zealand fare… for example roast of lamb with mint sauce and roasted vegetables, casserole of venison, pavlova with kiwifruit just to name a few, along with some delicious local wines in our formal dining room. If you have a special request regarding meals please feel free to inquire when you make your booking.

Kitchen

The kitchen is a very “Kiwi” place in the house to congregate and accordingly we have provided a huge countertop for our guests to sit around and enjoy a good hearty breakfast or to stop for a cuppa and check out what’s being prepared for dinner!

Hot Tub

A great spot to rest and unwind after a days hunting or adventure activities. Many a good yarn is heard over the sound of popping bubbles.
