Matakauri Lodge

Spectacularly situated on Lake Wakatipu, Matakauri Lodge offers stunning views from every angle of the Remarkables, Cecil and Walter Peak mountain ranges. Just seven minutes from Queenstown, Matakauri Lodge provides an alpine lakeside retreat amongst one of the world’s most serenely beautiful landscapes.

The main lodge consists of a spacious lounge and dining and living areas, all with views of Lake Wakatipu. The lodge also offers a range of indoor and outdoor dining locations for guests, including superb private dining options.  An elegant meeting space with a business centre offers abundant natural light and views of the mountain ranges beyond.

Facilities include a full service spa, infinity swimming pool, and fully-equipped fitness centre, including sauna and a jacuzzi.

Accommodation is offered in twelve luxurious guest suites and rooms.  Each suite offers a private porch, bedroom with sitting area and open fireplace, walk-in wardrobe and bathroom. The suites are nestled in to the landscape overlooking Lake Wakatipu and the mountain panorama. The Owner’s Cottage at Matakauri features four suites in a freestanding residence with private Jacuzzi, kitchen and grand courtyard making it ideal for families, couples or friends travelling together, as well as special celebrations.

Queenstown offers an abundance of experiences for all visitors from the adventure pursuits of bungy jumping, canyoning and white water rafting, to the more leisurely pursuit of the fine wine and arts of Central Otago.  Four world class golf courses are within an easy drive, and the lodge is an ideal launchpad for further exploration of the West Coast by helicopter.
