Overview
The Hotel
On the shores of Lake Wakatipu with the Remarkables range as an unbroken backdrop, Matakauri is the kind of lodge that turns Queenstown from a thrill-seekers' destination into a reason to stay still. The views shift hourly; the four-bedroom villa has its own infinity jacuzzi above the lake; and the proximity to New Zealand's best adventure experiences is a bonus rather than the point.
Good to Know
New Zealand
Lake Wakatipu's mountain lodges, Northland's clifftop coastal estates, and Hawke's Bay's farm-to-table retreats — New Zealand's small luxury lodge scene is among the world's finest.
