In Our Opinion
‘There's lots of choices when it comes to dining here and for a more intimate experience you can reserve the wine cave with room for up to six people.’
Location
The Lodge is on the shores of Lake Wakatipu in the Southern Alps. It's a brief helicopter ride away from the snow-capped Mt Earnslaw Glacier, the quiet trout-filled rivers of The Greenstone Valley and the dense prehistoric rainforests of Fiordland as well as 45 minutes’ drive from Queenstown and 55 minutes from Queenstown Airport.
