A Private Queenstown Retreat for Families and Groups

Matakauri Owner’s Cottage is designed for travellers who want to share a special journey without compromising on comfort or privacy. It provides generous living areas, private outdoor spaces and beautiful views across Lake Wakatipu towards the surrounding mountains.

As a result, it is well suited to family holidays, milestone celebrations, small groups of friends and private South Island journeys.

The cottage allows guests to spend quality time together. At the same time, its spacious design gives everyone room to relax independently.

Space to Relax and Entertain

The property offers elegant shared spaces for dining, relaxing and enjoying the view. Large windows bring the landscape into the home, while warm interiors create a comfortable retreat in every season.

After a day exploring Queenstown, return to your private setting and unwind with a drink on the terrace. Alternatively, enjoy a relaxed meal together and watch the light change across the lake and mountains.

Private dining can also be arranged as part of a tailored stay. Therefore, the cottage is an excellent choice for guests who value flexibility and a more personal experience.

Lake Wakatipu and Mountain Views

Matakauri Owner’s Cottage enjoys a peaceful position above Lake Wakatipu. From the cottage, guests can take in wide views of the lake, Cecil Peak and the Remarkables mountain range.

The setting feels secluded. Nevertheless, Queenstown’s restaurants, shops and activities are within easy reach.

This balance makes the cottage especially appealing. You can enjoy privacy and quiet when you wish, then access the energy of Queenstown whenever you choose.

Explore Queenstown Your Way

Queenstown offers exceptional experiences throughout the year. For example, guests can enjoy private helicopter flights, guided walks, jet boating, wine tasting, scenic cruises and alpine adventures.

During winter, the region also provides easy access to skiing, snowboarding and snow-based experiences. Meanwhile, the warmer months are ideal for hiking, cycling, lake activities and long lunches in the Gibbston Valley.

Luxury Adventures can arrange every element of your time in Queenstown. This may include private guiding, luxury transfers, restaurant reservations, scenic flights and exclusive experiences.
