Duncan Elliot is more than just your guide—he’s a fourth-generation steward of Lammermoor Station. Born and raised on this land, Duncan’s connection to the hills, valleys, and waterways of the Maniototo runs deep. The station has been in the Elliot family for nearly 100 years, and Duncan carries that legacy with pride every time he steps out into the high country.
From the river flats of the Taieri to the rugged tops of the Lammermoor Ranges, Duncan knows every corner of the property like the back of his hand. These are the same hills he explored as a boy, the same valleys his family has worked for generations. That depth of knowledge, combined with a lifetime of hunting experience, makes him uniquely placed to guide you through your Lammermoor adventure.
For Duncan, guiding is personal. It’s not just about securing a trophy—it’s about sharing a piece of his family’s story, the landscape he grew up in, and the way of life that defines the Central Otago high country. His goal is simple: to deliver a tailored, memorable experience that reflects both the quality of the game and the heritage of the land.
