A major advantage to us in the event of sustained bad weather is that we can also provide good stalking on the West Coast, near Lake Brunner. We have a 4-bedroom lodge at the lake, and there is also superb fishing. T he owners of the Summerdale were pioneers in the establishment of commercial red deer farming in NZ, with over 30 years of deer breeding and management experience. During September, we can carefully select a few top stags, and grow these out into full antler. The selection is based on previous years velvet antler weights, and formation of antler shape.
Stags run wild on hill country.
If you really would like a trophy Red stag or two gracing your wall, we have some world-class stags for you.
