Accommodation

Flax Hills offers flexible accommodation options with the choice to stay in exclusive locations in nearby Kaikoura or on the Ranch in ‘The Doo Duck Inn’ situated on the banks of the lake.

The Doo Duck Inn

Doo Duck Inn offers rustic farm style accommodation reminiscent of the musterer’s (stockman’s) hut traditionally found in high country stations.

After a day’s hunting, the Inn is a great place to relax on the deck beside a large pot belly fire and have a shot at a claybird overlooking the lake.

Meals are prepared in the farmhouse kitchen and packed ready for your hunting guide to cook for you. The menu is farm style food using fresh local and seasonal produce. Any special dietary requirements can be catered for by arrangement.

The Inn has a hot shower and two king single beds or a queen bed and a logburner to keep guests warm. It’s quaint, rustic and perfect for experiencing the beauty of New Zealand’s alpine environment during your stay.
