Tirohanga Lodge

Welcome to Tirohanga Lodge - a modern, hillside guesthouse with panoramic views and easy access to all that Queenstown has to offer. Tirohanga is Māori, meaning scenery or perspective - a tribute to the area's Māori roots and the stunning scenery surrounding the lodge.

Note our guesthouse has two sets of stairs and is thus not suitable for people with mobility issues. Small children need to be watched as we do not have stair gates.

The space

Spacious with comfortable queen beds, our guestrooms have built-in wardrobes with shelving and hanging space. Ranch sliders lead to a balcony with table and chairs to enjoy the magnificent views of Lake Wakatipu and the mountains beyond. The bedrooms have underfloor and panel wall heating, and electric blankets for colder nights. Your private bathroom is across the hallway.

A kitchen with modern appliances, and an open-plan lounge and dining area, leading to a sunny patio and another lake-facing balcony are located on the second floor. These spaces are shared with your hosts, my wife and I.

We have a small selection of board games and books, and even a yoga mat for our guests to use. Enjoy a glass of wine on the balcony, relax with a book on the comfy lounge or one of our bean bags, play a board game or watch Netflix/Smart TV.

Guest access

You will be our only guests during your stay and have the entire first floor (with the exception of separate laundry facilities) to yourself. We can provide a cot and high chair if you travel with an infant or toddler.

Shared spaces include:

• Level 2 - Kitchen, Open plan lounge and dining area, patio and BBQ area, Balcony
• Level 1 - Laundry facilities
• Ground Level - Drying space in the garage for winter sports gear and hiking boots

Other things to note

My wife and I occupy the top floor and may use the shared spaces on the second floor, or the laundry and gear drying facilities as needed. We pride ourselves on a clean and tidy house and adhere to a thorough cleaning protocol. The lodge is spacious (almost 200sqm), enabling us all to keep a safe distance during COVID-19 alert level 2.
