Matakauri Lodge

Lake Wakatipu, Matakauri Lodge, one of the world's most private and serene vacation retreats, is a short distance to Queenstown, the alpine wonderland of New Zealand.

Amid towering mountain peaks and green high country pasture, the Lodge and its adjoining villas are luxuriously appointed and every suite exudes intimacy and romance.

Matakauri lodge is set in nine acres of native bush, partially landscaped with rolling lawns, a meandering stream and surrounded by a pine forest which creates an atmosphere of supreme privacy and enjoyment.

The three suites and four villas feature combinations of separate lounges with log fireplaces (villas only) opening onto large private balconies. The large bathrooms in our villas all have spectacular views and offer double spa baths, double showers and twin vanities, as well as heated slate floors, spa tiles and towel rails. The king size beds are all dressed in the finest cotton linen and feather and down pillows. Each villa and suite has a bar fridge, tea and coffee making facilities, satellite television, CD and video players, telephone and internet access.

Savour exquisitely prepared cuisine by our award winning chef featuring a wonderful selection of fresh local fare, accompanied by fine New Zealand wines and mouth watering desserts.

The perfect antidote to the frenetic pace of everyday life. Matakauri Lodge is the supreme base from which to unwind; fresh clean mountain air and breath-taking beauty define your exclusive Matakauri experience. Guests can enjoy a variety of facilities including the spa pavilion with sauna, outdoor hot tub and exercise room.

If elegance and privacy, impeccable contemporary design poised in balance and harmony with nature unspoiled are your preference, you have come to the right place - combined, it all goes to make Matakauri Lodge the perfect retreat.
