Matakauri lodge is one of Queenstown’s finest lodges, nestled on the edge of Lake Wakatipu about seven minutes from the town. The 11 luxurious suites are spacious with king-sized beds, an oversized bath tub, large picture windows and seating both inside and on a private balcony/patio from which you can enjoy fantastic views of the lake and the mountains that frame it.

Dining is a big focus at the lodge and you are sure to have your tastebuds indulged with seasonal, local produce cooked by the in-house chef and a menu that changes daily to ensure you always have a range of choices. They also boast a world class wine list to accompany the meals.

This is an excellent base for a host of activities on offer in and around Queenstown and the lodge can organise a range of adventures directly from the front door. However, it is also the perfect place to relax for a few days, amongst fantastic hospitality and awe-inspiring scenery.
