Poronui Hunting

Getting to Poronui is part of the experience, with an onsite airstrip and helipads offering direct access to the estate from Auckland or Taupo.

Once here, guests can also take a guided helicopter trip out to Hawkes Bay wineries, or explore the surrounding high country from above.

It turns arrival, and departure, into part of the adventure rather than a means to it.

There are countless angles to study your trophy stag’s rack – which one tells the story for you?

A hunting day at Poronui ends the way it should, back at the Lodge's individually appointed cabins overlooking the Taharua River.

Each cabin pairs rustic charm with ensuite bathrooms and private decks, with three Superior Cabins offering private balconies over the river.

After a day in the field, it is a quiet place to reset before dinner.

What a solid rack and an impeccable effort, Chris.

Poronui sits at the end of a road in the Taharua Valley, deep in the central North Island of New Zealand. It is remote by design. But getting there from the United States, Australia, or anywhere else in the world is more straightforward than the address might suggest.
