About Poronui

Our Philosophy and Our People

Poronui has evolved from a rustic fishing camp into one of the world’s finest fishing, hunting and wilderness lodges.  This is no accident, but the result of careful and loving stewardship by the staff at Poronui.  We have a strong philosophy of conservation, of preserving the natural assets of the property.  We have a strong customer service ethic, believing that while Poronui itself is spectacular, it is our people  and the camaraderie of your fellow guests that will make the experience truly memorable.

Our Partners

We work with a number of partners to deliver high quality services designed exclusively to meet the needs of the discerning Poronui guest.  We also have partners who are helping us to record the natural history and heritage of the property and manage it for future generations.  More information about our partners can be found here.

“My favourite fly fishing destination-huge variety of streams and rivers, incredible scenery,great guides and large trout”

To discriminating anglers, Poronui is an historic fly fishing lodge where they go fishing for superb NZ brown and rainbow trout in pristine waters.

To sportsmen, Poronui is a supreme hunting lodge where they can hunt majestic deer in a hauntingly beautiful landscape. To others, Poronui is the ultimate luxury wilderness retreat, a place where they can relax or explore 16,000 acres of timeless wilderness.

To match the premier quality of the outdoor experience, Poronui offers three supremely comfortable accommodation options: the legendary Poronui fishing lodge, luxury camping down by the Mohaka river at Safari Camp or stately Blake House - the choice of celebrities, captains of industry and royalty.

Whether your passion is New Zealand fly fishing, hunting or hiking, our guests talk of the magic of Poronui – the breathtaking location, the genuine Kiwi warmth, and the camaraderie they share with guides and fellow adventurers.

Come and experience the legend of Poronui.
