A trout fisherman and his Poronui guide work a pristine pool in New Zealand. Poronui A unique New Zealand experience, Poronui is 16,000 acres of timeless wilderness and some of the purest air on the planet. There is a dimension to the Poronui experience that sets it apart from other great luxury lodges. Partly it's the privacy, isolation, and jaw-dropping beauty of its location in the secluded Taharua Valley— shared by just a handful of guests at any one time. Mostly it's the rare opportunity of combining world-class hunting for majestic red stag, with antlers of awe- inspiring proportions, and fly fishing for trophy brown and rainbow trout in pristine backcountry waters. To match the premier quality of the outdoor experience, Poronui offers three supremely comfortable accommodation options: A traditional lodge experience at Poronui with the companionship of fellow guests; private accommodation either at Blake House, the owner's stately residence; or our luxury riverside safari camp. Experience the legend of New Zealand's Poronui for yourself. Visit www.poronui. com or email eve@poronui.com.
