Ivory Cliffs Estate

The Ivory Cliffs Experience

Ivory Cliffs Estate is located in the sunny Hawkes Bay region on the North Island of New Zealand. The lodge is a one hour drive from Napier city which also hosts our closest regional airport.

Nestled on a breathtaking wilderness, the estate, locally known as Te Rangi Station (Māori for "the sky"), offers an unparalleled hunting sanctuary. The name perfectly captures the vast, open feel and dramatic skies of this pristine location. Historically significant, Te Rangi Station was one of New Zealand’s original deer farms, pioneering the capture and management of wild deer, a legacy that ensures a robust and genetically superior herd today.

Rising dramatically from the landscape are the magnificent, sheer-faced sandstone formations that give the estate its name—the Ivory Cliffs. These towering, pale-coloured bluffs slice through the property, creating breathtaking vistas and superb glassing positions. The name resonates perfectly with the exceptional trophy animals found here, as the majestic Red Stags of the estate are renowned for their distinctive, sought-after 'ivory tips on their impressive antlers.

Access to our expansive Estate is thoughtfully managed. The entire property is serviced by a network of well-maintained tracks, allowing us to utilize our high-spec Can-Am ATVs for transportation. This ensures that the magnificent Stags and diverse terrain are accessible to hunters of all fitness levels, allowing every guest to fully experience the beauty and thrill of the Ivory Cliffs Estate without compromise.

The entire property operates as one vast area, defined by a single external boundary fence and no internal fencing, allowing the game to thrive in a natural, expansive environment. The diverse landscape consists of fertile grasslands interspersed with dense pockets of native New Zealand forest, providing ideal habitat and challenging terrain that caters to the true sportsman.
