Matakauri Lodge, Queenstown
Seven minutes from Queenstown and spectacularly situated on Lake Wakatipu, Matakauri Lodge is a stunning new Relais & Chateaux property offering luxury accommodation in just eleven designer suites, each with private terraces looking out to dramatic lakeside and mountain vistas.
Recently named by Tatler Magazine as one of the world's 101 Best
Hotels, Matakauri Lodge boasts generous lodge and dining facilities
with unparalled views, superb food and wine, exemplary service and
stunning panoramic views. Matakauri is the perfect alpine lakeside
retreat.
The exclusive Lodge is nestled in one of the world's most
serenely beautiful landscape settings, yet just a few minutes by
car from all the attractions of Queenstown and the leisure
activities this part of New Zealand's South Island is renowned for.
A range of outdoor pursuits from snow skiing or heli-skiing in
winter to fishing and water sports in summer is available. Hiking
and adrenalin sports are on the doorstep year round. While the
Matakauri property does not have a golf course there are several
excellent courses to play within easy reach.
Food and wine are a highlight of a stay at Matakauri Lodge, as
group executive chef Dale Gartland (ex- Kauri Cliffs, Cape
Kidnappers as well as Gidleigh Park in the UK) personally tailors
menus to guests' tastes. With one of New Zealand's top wine
regions, Central Otago, just down the road, wines are well matched
to each meal with Central Otago Pinot Noir a stand-out of the
lodge's well stocked cellar. Guests can choose from a range of
dining spots to enjoy Dale Garland's take on seasonal New Zealand
produce, from the main lodge dining room to the cosy upstairs
library, or in summer, the Remarkables Terrace with outdoor
fireplace and unencumbered views of the lake and the Remarkables
and Cecil Peaks mountain ranges.
Matakauri lodge also offers a Day Spa, a state of the art fitness
centre, sauna and an outdoor infinity pool, again all with ultra-
spectacular views.
