About Wharekauhau Country Estate
Set on a 5,500-acre working sheep station on the wild Palliser Bay coast, Wharekauhau Country Estate is New Zealand's most celebrated luxury lodge experience outside of Queenstown. The Edwardian homestead overlooks a dramatic black-sand beach with the Kaikoura Ranges visible across Cook Strait on clear days. Lamb raised on the estate appears on the dinner menu; wool from the same flock furnishes the rooms. It is New Zealand as it should be experienced — unhurried, magnificent and entirely authentic.
