Perched high on a mountain saddle amidst breathtaking mountain scenery, The Bad Decision is New Zealand's most exclusive whisky hut – a tiny alpine hut offering a truly unique escape.
Your adventure begins with a scenic helicopter flight from Mackenzie Helicopters' Lake Tekapo base, soaring deep into the snow-capped wilderness of the Southern Alps. Witness the majesty of New Zealand's longest glaciers and tallest peaks, including the iconic Aoraki/Mount Cook, before landing beside this secluded hut.
Inside the hut, savour a selection of fine whiskies while taking in the 360-degree vistas and the pure mountain air. Or step outside and experience the thrill of driving biodegradable golf balls from the world's most scenic driving range.
Whether you're a whisky connoisseur or simply seeking an unforgettable experience, The Bad Decision promises a moment of pure indulgence with the world at your feet.
