Where is Ivory Cliffs Estate located?
North Island of New Zealand
Hawke's Bay
Ivory Cliffs Estate is located in the sunny Hawke's Bay region on the North Island of New Zealand. The lodge is a one hour drive from Napier city which also hosts our closest regional airport. Nestled on 2,500 acres of breathtaking wilderness, the estate, locally known as Te Rangi Station (Māori for "the sky"), offers an unparalleled hunting sanctuary.
South Island of New Zealand
East Coast (Rakaia Valley)
After your commercial flight with Air New Zealand from Napier to Christchurch, you will be driven by your guide to our remote accommodation nestled in the beautiful Rakaia Valley. This location provides comfortable, cozy lodging strategically positioned for prime access to the East Coast hunting grounds with a breathtaking view up the Rakaia valley. Literally walk out the door, into the helicopter and you are on your way!
West Coast (Fox Glacier Township)
For the more exclusive experience, the West Coast option begins with a private charter flight in a twin-engine Navajo plane, taking you directly from the North Island (Napier) to the Fox Glacier township. Your luxurious accommodation awaits you here, offering stunning views and quick access to the remote West Coast hunting area. The extreme remoteness of this area of New Zealand, coupled with the reduced travel time thanks to the private charter, not only adds flexibility but also offers the potential for slightly higher trophy quality due to the complexity of accessing the area
Getting to Ivory Cliffs Estate
Most long-haul international flights are overnight, typically arriving in Auckland early in the morning. Air New Zealand (Air NZ) operates direct services from major North American hubs, including Los Angeles (LAX), San Francisco, Houston, and Chicago. Additionally, American Airlines offers a seasonal summer service from Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW).
For guests traveling from Europe, flights typically route through major Asian hubs or the Middle East, such as Dubai or Qatar.
Most international travelers will only require an Electronic Travel Authority (ETA) or e-Visa, which is usually fast and straightforward to obtain online prior to your departure.
Our recommendation
Air New Zealand boasts a world-renowned safety record and is our strongly recommended carrier for your journey.
We also advise all international guests to schedule an overnight stay in Napier upon arrival. This strategy acts as a critical buffer against any unexpected travel delays and allows you a valuable chance to recover from jet lag before embarking on your unforgettable Ivory Cliffs Estate adventure
