Deluxe Mountain Trek to Hanmer Springs
South Island New Zealand
Given today's fast paced world, many people search for holiday spots with a slower and more relaxed approach to life. It is exactly for such people that we introduce this new progressive riding tour to our clients. Situated in New Zealand, 85 miles north of Christchurch, in a remote river valley at the foot of two mountain ranges, we offer a taste of the carefree life in spectacular surroundings. There are no noisy distractions, crowds or deadlines to meet here. Instead, forgotten pleasures such as big skies and wide-open spaces, crisp clean mountain air, lively conversations enjoyed in deep armchairs in front of open fires, and warm hospitality for small, intimate groups abound.

Join us on a luxury horse trek in the beautiful Alpine Pacific region of the South Island, with night’s spent in luxurious lodge and farm accommodations and days spent riding through the South Island’s stunning high country.
Your hosts, Pip and Craig, ensure your stay is packed with fantastic riding, excellent locally produced cuisine, fine New Zealand wines, and the best South Island country hospitality.

You will spend 3 luxurious nights at Sherwood Lodge – a lavishly restored country estate; one night will be spent at the beautiful Heritage Hanmer Springs, the grand old lady of the Alpine Pacific region; and two nights are at the welcoming surroundings of two beautiful farm homesteads – “Duart” and “Barcledean”.

On day four you will reach and visit the stunning Hanmer Springs Thermal Reserve – one of New Zealand’s top tourist attractions – and a superb place to soak your weary muscles after a day in the saddle.  Join us for a taste of true South Island high country hospitality and some of the finest lodge accommodation in New Zealand - a truly unforgettable luxury New Zealand horse riding experience.
