Nestled into the coastline of the Pacific Ocean and amongst native forest valleys, bordered by the Conway River sits Matai Peak – the Luxury Kaikōura coastal experience.

Land at the secluded hut on New Zealand’s largest Angus stud farm, the iconic Te Mania. Enjoy a lunch of locally sourced and produced delicacies, including Aotearoa’s famous lamb or beef along with fresh crayfish caught just off the Conway Flats Beach and salad greens grown on the property.

After lunch, take in the salty sea air as you climb aboard a 4x4 with the farmer for a full tour of the extraordinary pastures and incredible vistas of the property, punctuated by stories and anecdotes of their day-to-day undertaking. This is your opportunity to come face to face with New Zealand’s finest bred Angus Bulls.

At the end of the tour, stop by Te Mania’s Saloon Bar for a refreshment – a private and quirky bar – full of tradition, memorabilia and history of the farm, before boarding your helicopter back to Kaikōura again.
