KAKAHU LODGE

WELCOME TO KAKAHU LODGE

We look forward to welcoming you to our beautiful Kakahu Lodge. Kakahu Lodge is located just outside the quaint country town of Geraldine, in the South Island of New Zealand.

Kakahu Lodge is set against a beautiful backdrop of the most breathtaking mountain views Geraldine has to offer. The lodge offers space, privacy, and a slice of country life.

Before you step inside this substantial architecturally designed lodge, you will be welcomed by the menagerie of birdlife that thrive amongst the surrounding native plantings.

The property has been landscaped over the years with maximum enjoyment front of mind. With a beautiful infinity front lawn, outdoor pizza oven and 15m pool, complete with an outdoor playground.

Guests can enjoy a leisurely stroll through the myriad of tracks onsite or simply relax by a cosy fire with a fine wine in the evening.


Probably the best outfitted hunt I have ever been on. Beautiful lodge and property. The guides were top notch and extremely professional. The food was excellent and everybody in the organization was a pleasure to deal with. They all went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time.

“What an experience! Luke’s knowledge of the station we hunted and his consummate skills as a guide made for fantastic hunting.  We saw lots of game and two spectacular stags, one of which became mine. Thanks Luke and the Monarch staff for making my hunt of a lifetime happen. We will do this again!”

Thanks Luke! We had an awesome weekend. Jonty was pumped after shooting his first Red Stag and sticking his first pig.

Whether it was trophy hunting or meat harvesting, going hunting with Luke was a great time and really successful too. And the locations that Monarch takes you too were some of the best landscapes in New Zealand!!!! Our hunting adventure was a real experience in such a beautiful part of the world.
