Enjoy a Unique Experience in the Mountains this Spring
/8 November 2022
With so much to offer, Minaret Station is the perfect place to explore this spring!
As the snow begins to dissipate and the regrowth of spring is thriving within the Estuary Burn Valley, the changing environment brings a refreshed energy to explore these beautiful hidden places. Snow-covered mountain tops, lush greenery, powerful waterfalls, and long days filled with activities; this is truly a special time of year.
Minaret Station and the surrounding glacial valleys come alive in the spring with countless activities on offer and made accessible within a day.
With the longer days and warmer temperatures, we welcome back a selection of our signature guided experiences. Whether it’s for avid fly-fishers or mountain bike adventures, our suite of experiences also provides the opportunity for guests to try their hand at something new.
A Taste of Spring Included in Every Experience
When you think of hiking, fishing, or spending a day on the bike trails, food is usually a secondary thought. At Minaret Station, cuisine is a key part to any guest experience with us, and we like to ensure it is featured in your day, no matter the experience you decide.
Whilst basking in the warm sunshine out on an adventure, you will enjoy an exceptional, fully catered gourmet picnic lunch that complements the experiences and views of the day. And leaves you wanting more.
Savour the pure mountain air and take in the views as you enjoy fresh, locally sourced and seasonal food. Our gourmet picnic lunches are prepared by our Minaret Station chefs and cooked for you on the day by your personal guide, as you soak up the environments, you’re fortunate to visit. Depending on the season, and what you most enjoy, this could be freshly caught crayfish you have gathered yourself, fish, or protein direct from Minaret Station’s own high-country station. Complimentary salads are seasonally assembled from local producers in Wanaka. The culmination of fresh produce and proteins create dishes unique to Minaret Station that showcase the best of the cuisine of New Zealand’s South Island.
We are always accommodating to dietary requirements and encourage you to discuss with our team ahead of your experience with us to ensure we tailor the perfect food for your day.
