Villas with alpine views
Southern Alps adventures
Modern New Zealand cuisine
Rosewood Matakauri is an intimate alpine retreat on the shores of Lake Wakatipu in Queenstown, surrounded by dramatic mountain scenery, snow-capped peaks and the pristine landscapes of New Zealand’s South Island. The hotel’s concept is defined by a close connection with its natural surroundings: panoramic lake and mountain views accompany guests throughout the accommodation, dining spaces and outdoor terraces, while contemporary bespoke interiors provide a refined backdrop that allows the landscape to remain the central focus. Rosewood Matakauri combines a strong sense of privacy with access to one of New Zealand’s most spectacular alpine destinations.
Gastronomy forms an integral part of the experience. Modern New Zealand cuisine tells the story of Central Otago through produce grown, foraged and harvested throughout the region. The Dining Room pairs its cuisine with panoramic scenery and a world-class wine menu, while Remarkables Terrace provides refined alfresco dining overlooking native gardens, Lake Wakatipu and the surrounding mountains. Private dining settings are also available for intimate gatherings and elegant celebrations.
The stay can be complemented by restorative wellness experiences and adventures inspired by Queenstown’s extraordinary setting. Guests can discover the Southern Hemisphere night sky with an experienced guide, embark on a scenic helicopter journey to Milford Sound, explore the vineyards of Gibbston Valley or experience heli-skiing and heli-boarding in the Southern Alps. Rosewood Matakauri therefore offers both a serene lakeside retreat and a base for immersive alpine experiences.
