Terrace Downs Discovery Jet

Terrace Downs High Country Resort in March of 08' launched the Terrace Downs Discovery Jet able to soar guests up and down Canterbury's Rakaia River. The Jet Boat will speed guests 25k's up the river showing all the sights and sounds of New Zealands scenic south island.

The resort itself has been transformed by new Cheif Executive Jonny Hendrikson and his team after taking over the business from Japanese businessman and former professional golfer Shinnosuke Saito (who still remains a director/investor) last year with business partner Tim Williams. They have transformed the high country resort and brought life back into the area with an enthusiasm to offer holiday experiences to a more broader market than solely the golfing enthusists. Initially a golfers retreat offering spectacular views over the golf course and the Southern Alps, the resort has along with the new Discovery Jet now offers a range of other experiences such as Archery, clay-pigeon shooting, blokarting and have also purchased 10 horses for treking.
An arrangement with a local helicopter service now means that in the winter months, guests can opt to take a 10 minute ride to the nearby ski field, Mt. Hutt or view the unique layout of canturbury from above on scenic flights.
What this means to the holiday maker is that Terrace Downs is truly an all year round retreat to escape to rat race for not only couples and families but for corporates, weddings & conferences.
