MINARET STATION

At the Mountain Kitchen, linked to the chalets by a series of raised wooden walkways, guests can take advantage of a cosy living area, library and dining room, where lamb, venison and beef from the 50,000 acre working farm are served alongside an extensive collection of New Zealand's finest wines.

Guests can enjoy a vast range of adrenaline-fuelled helicopter excursions, from heli-cycling to gourmet picnic lunches in majestic fjords, reached only by unforgettable flights over remote glacial valleys. The area’s bountiful array of wildlife also provides the lodge’s guests with some unforgettable encounters, while the rivers offer plenty of opportunity for fly fishers to reel in a catch.
