Welcome

We are a full service, outdoors driven, tourism operation based out of Stravon Station, a pristine wilderness estate nestled in The Hunters Hills.

We help our guests achieve their dreams by giving them an experience that captures the very essence of outdoor life in New Zealand's South Island.

We do this through Conservation. Passion. And the sheer natural beauty of New Zealand.

 

  • Stravon

    +
    Established:  1864
    Game:  Red Stag / Wapiti / Whitetail / Chamois / Fallow / Turkey / Wallaby / Pheasant / Alpine Goat / Arapawa Ram
    Natives: Native & endemic birds
    Season: All Year

     

    Sustainability & conservation are at the core of what we do at Stravon, something that will become evident to all guests upon arrival. Beautiful forests of native bush, full of bird song await in an environment teeming with wildlife.

    Stravon is big country. Our landscape is vast & challenging. The Hunters Hills date back to the Paleozoic Age and although it took thousands of years for Stravon to make an impression here... we think it'll take far less to leave one on you.

     

  • Watch

    +

    Stravon has some of New Zealand’s greatest natural wonders quite literally at her doorstep. So, whether it's through a lens or the taking of a fly, you'll discover there's something for everyone yet providing plenty of distractions along the way.

     

  • Clean, Green & Mean

    +
    We take New Zealand’s unique flora & fauna very seriously and have our own Bio-Security requirements in place. To ensure that no foreign organisms or threats enter our pristine waterways. Our protection measures include cleaning and freezing equipment overnight to ensure all threats are benign.
     
    With New Zealand being an island nation we experience weather from all of the seasons in a 24 hour period, none more so than the areas you’ll find yourself in with us and this is why we pack accordingly. We layer our clothes so that if the day starts out nice and then in the afternoon turns for the worst we are prepared for both situations.
     
    STRAVON and our other sporting destinations are found in areas where the weather & climate can turn for the good or bad within a few short hours. Fortunately, today’s technology with weather updates etc allows us to be updated with Mother Nature’s plans BUT the correct attire is absolutely crucial.

  • Safety

    +

    In collaboration with our Enviro Gold & OutdoorsMark Awards and with your safety in the forefront of our minds we have created the Wilderness Area Response Plan or W.A.R.P. The W.A.R.P is exactly that, a response plan or blueprint for a hunt. Covering everything from a bee sting to the worse case scenario whilst out in the field.
