An escape on the shores of Lake Wakatipu, surrounded by majestic alpine landscapes, snow-capped peaks, and skies that shift by the hour — Rosewood Matakauri is the embodiment of a vibrant destination where The Remarkables and Cecil Peak rise dramatically above the waterline, framing a landscape where all four seasons reliably rewrite the view. Open fireplaces, organic textures, and a collection of art curated with a bold local point of view create a dialogue between indoors and out — a tranquil refuge that draws the outside in for ease of connection to an awe-inspiring alpine landscape. Just seven minutes away from New Zealand’s vibrant adventure capital of Queenstown, Rosewood Matakauri is a tranquil alpine lakeside resort where the story of Central Otago unfolds through each dish crafted from the finest produce grown, foraged, and harvested daily in the region — and where guests can venture into the night sky with an experienced guide to uncover the wonders of the Southern Hemisphere’s celestial tapestry.

• Seasonal Alpine Dining — The culinary team showcases modern New Zealand cuisine with a daily changing à la carte menu, emphasising fresh seasonal produce from local suppliers, the resort’s kitchen garden, and honey from on-site beehives — with the Remarkables Terrace offering a breathtaking alfresco dining setting.
• The Spa — Two serene treatment rooms each open onto a native forest-lined deck, offering restorative treatments tailored to the alpine environment — complemented by an outdoor heated infinity pool, hot tub, cedar sauna, and fitness centre with panoramic lake and mountain views.
• Artist in Residence Programme — A unique cultural offering inviting talented artists to the lodge to draw inspiration from the breathtaking Queenstown landscape — creating a living dialogue between art, nature, and the resort’s bold local point of view.
