Free Range Hunting at Glazebrook


Glazebrook is a private 9,000 hectare estate in the South Island of New Zealand. This premier sporting property offers an isolated and unspoiled experience in an authentic high country station, with a brand-new lodge and both game ranch and free range hunting. The rugged natural beauty of Glazebrook combined with the array of animals to hunt makes it ideal for hunters who really do love to hunt!

South Island High Country

The property supports an abundance of free range red stag and fallow deer that roam the hills and valleys, and chamois that make their home on the snow-capped mountain peaks. There are also wild boar, goats, hares and game birds on the property and brown trout in the gin clear Waihopai River. The free range animals are representative of their breed, and some excellent trophies can be taken.

Hunt roaring red stags in high mountain basins. You will need to be fit to spot and stalk a red stag on the steep scree slopes of high country New Zealand, but it’s an experience you will never forget – and we promise you a luxurious bed and gourmet meals to sustain you!

If you’re looking for something bigger in the trophy stakes you might want to consider the Glazebrook game estate. Glazebrook’s game estate grounds are a true test for a hunter. Containing over 3,000 acres of magnificent South Island high country, this is true mountain hunting.
