Claremont - gateway to the South Island

Claremont Country Estate is just 45 minutes easy drive north of Christchurch international airport. Self-drive is recommended but transfer by chauffeur-driven limousine or shuttle-bus can be arranged.

Claremont also has a helipad adjacent to the lodge and helicopter transfers from Christchurch airport take around 15 minutes! Nearby, we have a 700 metre grass strip suitable for light aircraft.

From the USA or Europe
Christchurch international airport is the gateway to New Zealand’s spectacular South Island with direct flights by Air New Zealand, Singapore Airlines, Malaysian Airlines and Emirates. Alternatively, there is a wide choice of airlines using Auckland as a gateway with onward connections to Canterbury.

Most of the direct international flights arrive in the morning. You can drive directly to Claremont where, by prior arrangement, we will arrange an early check-in and a light luncheon.

From Australia
Air New Zealand, Jet Star, Pacific Blue (Virgin) and Emirates all fly into Christchurch. Many of these flights arrive at night so you may prefer to overnight closer to Christchurch and come on to Claremont the following day.
