Welcome to Matakauri Lodge… one of New Zealand’s most private and serene vacation retreats.

Nestled among bush on the edge of Lake Wakatipu, just 10 minutes from Queenstown. Matakauri Lodge offers absolute comfort as well as stunning panoramic views. The lodge and its adjoining villas are luxuriously appointed and have been designed to be in harmony with the lakefront environment and surrounding bush.

The 9 acre property is fully landscaped with rolling lawns, a meandering stream, native New Zealand plants, and surrounding pine forest which create an atmosphere of supreme privacy and enjoyment. Matakauri Lodge is unique… the first luxury lodge to open in the new millennium in arguably the world’s finest destination resort, Queenstown.

The claim to the most spectacular views, in a country such as New Zealand is not made lightly; and to offer that view from every room in the lodge is an absolute treat.

The Main Lodge offers accommodation in twelve luxurious guest rooms and suites, with eight outlying cottages and four suites within the lodge. Each suite offers a private porch, bedroom with sitting area and open fireplace, walk-in wardrobes and a bathroom. All nestled in native forest overlooking the lake and the mountain panorama.

Spacious lounges, dining and living areas, all with lake views and a range of indoor and outdoor dining options; including superb private dining.

Facilities include a full service luxury spa, infinity pool, a fully equipped fitness centre and an elegant meeting and business centre.

The Owner’s Cottage features four suites in a freestanding residence, private jacuzzi, lounge, kitchen and grand courtyard; ideal for families, couples or friends traveling together or even special celebrations.
