ARCHITECTURALLY STRIKING LODGE IN THE PRISTINE AHURIRI VALLEY
With phenomenal stargazing, world-class fly fishing and thrilling gliding adventures all on the menu, The Lindis offers the ultimate high country experience on New Zealand’s South Island.
Hidden from view in the beautiful Ahuriri Valley, The Lindis provides a contemporary haven where guests are invited to escape the bustle of modern life. Guests are promised an intimate, personalised experience with just five suites to choose from, each comfortably appointed with dark natural woods, super king beds, gas fireplaces and outdoor seating areas.
For something yet more private, opt for one of the individual “pods” just beyond the main lodge. Beautifully secluded, they have mirrored glass walls on three sides offering breathtaking views across the valley’s beech forests, tussocks and mountains.
The array of activities on offer is truly impressive. Hike, mountain or horse ride across the high-country farmland, enjoy world-class fly fishing or, for the truly adventurous, take to the skies in a glider for a soaring adventure around Mt Cook or Milford Sound. Thanks to its remote location and dark, clear skies, stargazing at The Lindis is simply magical.

We had a wonderful safari experience in South Luangwa, Zambia this September. Despite a few unexpected setbacks behind the scenes, everything ran seamlessly for us. Our driver and guide were outstanding, and the standard of accommodation was truly first class.
Planning my first solo trip felt like a big step, but The Ultimate Travel Company made it easy from the outset. I reached out over a year in advance, and Rob Kent quickly put together a thoughtful itinerary based on exactly what I was looking for, securing great flights and always being available to talk things through. Everything ran smoothly and I felt looked after every step of the way. The accommodation in Japan, Fiji and Tahiti was excellent and the experiences unforgettable.
