YOUR ARRIVAL

Your journey to The Lindis is an experience in itself. Set within the vast 6,500-acre Ben Avon Station in the Ahuriri Valley, the property offers two stunning ways to begin your stay. Arrive by vehicle, a 2.5-hour scenic drive from Queenstown Airport via Birchwood Road, or elevate your experience with a 35-minute helicopter transfer from Queenstown, soaring over the awe-inspiring ranges before landing on our private helipad.

The Secret Signature Experience

Take to the skies on an unforgettable journey deep into the Southern Alps. A private helicopter whisks you to a remote alpine paradise, where cascading waterfalls and snow-capped peaks set the scene. Explore untouched wilderness, photograph rare wildlife, and unwind beside glacial streams. Meanwhile, your private chef prepares a gourmet BBQ lunch just for you—an extraordinary culinary moment in one of New Zealand’s most breathtaking, hidden locations.

A breathtaking expanse of wetlands, tussock plains, and rugged peaks, the Ahuriri Valley spans 49,000 hectares of protected conservation land. Home to world-class fly fishing and rich Māori and pastoral history, it’s a place of striking contrasts and timeless beauty. The Lindis sits within Ben Avon Station, where merino sheep still graze. The Lindis Group understands luxury—here, it meets wilderness, inviting you to experience New Zealand’s raw grandeur in comfort, solitude, and stillness.
