In 2007 Rob Holt had a dream and an opportunity that eventually became known as Kaweka Hunting. Rob grew up on the ranch. He spent several years developing a breeding program with excellent game management on the property before forming Kaweka Hunting. This is the key factor behind Kaweka Hunting being able to offer our hunters premier genetic quality.

Kaweka Hunting is proud to put hunters first and to offer an un-crowded hunting experience. We boast a friendly, relaxed environment both on and off the field. Now that we’ve succeeded in bringing Rob’s dream to life we invite you to come and share it with us.

The Original Lodge, which had been converted from the family homestead, was unfortunately burnt down in October 2010. Overlooking the hunting estate, a new purpose-built lodge was complete in early 2012.
