After many years of working in the tourism industry we now bring our own unique blend of Kiwi energy, passion,
enthusiasm and relaxed professionalism to a new venture - opening our Country Lodge.
The experience we have gained as Nature Guide, Lodge Managers, Tourist Operator Managers and currently
Captain/Chef/Hosts on an American Charter Motor Yacht cruising the Mediterranean, Bahamas and North America
has allowed us to clearly identify what type of service we want to offer.
"A unique warm, welcoming and personalized country experience, combining the superb comfort
and luxury of a boutique lodge with the peace and tranquility of a stunning rural setting"
 Set on 11 acres (5 hectares) of pasture and trees between
Queenstown and historic Arrowtown, Queenstown Country Lodge
has spacious indoor and outdoor living areas. Spectacular Mountain
views dominated by the world renowned Remarkable Range,
landscaped gardens and farmland with sheep and lambs help provide
a wonderful setting to relax, unwind, enjoy and discover -
"Our lodge is your private rural retreat"
Guest accommodation consists of four spacious stylishly appointed bedrooms featuring king-size
beds and hydrotherapy ensuites. All the facilities expected of a luxury lodge are provided - heated
towel rails, TV/DVDs, turn down service, pillow menus, cotton linen, library, fire, outside private spa
and BBQ.
Our love of cooking and extensive experience in this field guarantee that dining at Queenstown
Country Lodge will be a highlight. We carry a good selection of New
Zealand and imported wines, ales and spirits and would like to share
our love of the local award winning wines with you. Breakfast can be
served alfresco on the patio, on a tray to your room at a time of your
choice or in the dining area. A menu selection, available by arrangement
for lunch and dinner reflects the home grown fresh produce available.
International options or your "good old favourite" dishes can also
be offered. Hosting you for an evening meal is a lovely part of our
"experience with you" although we do realize the attraction of the many superb Queenstown and
Arrowtown restaurants.
Local wine tasting with nibbles each evening is included in the tariff.
John is only too happy to share his passion and knowledge for the
outdoors and the natural environment with you. As a geography
specialist and a previous head nature guide for a large southern tourist
company, he has had extensive experience in the Queenstown, Fiordland and Stewart Island areas.
Also, if you are interested, he will help you explore the Southern Sky with telescope and binoculars, as
astronomy is another passion of his.
The many attractions close to our Lodge include
mountain trails, wineries, golf courses, art and craft
galleries, walking tracks, four wheel drive tours, skiing
in winter, fly fishing, astronomy and natural history...
We are passionate about and love the activities and
attractions - they have drawn us to this area for
years and we look forward to sharing them with you.
Remember, Queenstown (10 km away) is called the
adrenalin capital of the world featuring activities such as
bungy jumping, white water rafting, paragliding and jet boating.
"Allow us to help you organize your stay so that it will be a truly memorable experience"
