The Lindis

Nestled almost invisibly on the valley floor of the remote Ahuriri Valley, The Lindis is a contemporary luxury lodge set amid vast high‑country wilderness on Ben Avon Station. Sculpted to mirror the surrounding tussock-covered landscape, the lodge offers sweeping views of mountains, river and open skies, paired with warm high‑country hospitality, contemporary New Zealand cuisine and deeply immersive experiences that celebrate the land.

Accommodation

Master Suites

The two Master Suites are expansive sanctuaries offering uninterrupted valley views from vast floor‑to‑ceiling windows. Designed for space and comfort, they blend refined materials with understated luxury, creating a calm retreat ideal for couples seeking privacy, indulgence and connection to the surrounding landscape. 

Lodge Suites

The Lodge Suites provide a harmonious balance of comfort and design, each offering generous proportions and distinctive viewpoints across the valley. Thoughtfully positioned within the main lodge, these suites invite guests to relax in refined surroundings while remaining immersed in the dramatic natural environment beyond. 

The Pods

Just a short walk from the main lodge, the iconic Pods offer an intimate and architecturally bold accommodation experience. Designed for complete seclusion, each Pod features minimalist interiors, panoramic windows and an outdoor bathing experience that encourages stargazing beneath some of the darkest skies on Earth. These spaces offer the deepest sense of immersion in the landscape. 

Dining

Cuisine at The Lindis is a refined expression of contemporary New Zealand cooking, shaped by seasonality and provenance. Menus showcase locally sourced, sustainably harvested ingredients, including garden‑grown produce and regional game, thoughtfully prepared to reflect the surrounding high country. Meals are served alongside nightly pre‑dinner drinks and canapés, creating a warm and social dining experience that remains deeply connected to place. 

Experiences

The Lindis offers a curated collection of immersive wilderness experiences that invite guests to truly explore the Ahuriri Valley. Activities range from world‑class fly fishing on the Ahuriri River and guided horse trekking across open plains, to stargazing beneath pristine night skies. Guests may also enjoy guided walks, archery, heli‑excursions deep into the Southern Alps, or secluded gourmet picnics that highlight the region’s breathtaking scale and beauty. Each experience is tailored to encourage discovery, reflection and a genuine connection to the land.
