As New Zealand’s premier four-season alpine resort town, the hospitality sector here is exceptionally developed, offering world-class luxury that takes full advantage of the breathtaking lake and mountain vistas.

The pinnacle of local hospitality is found in the luxury alpine lodges situated slightly outside the town center or perched on the hillsides. These exclusive five-star retreats offer total privacy, featuring roaring fireplaces, private outdoor cedar hot tubs, and floor-to-ceiling windows that provide jaw-dropping views of Lake Wakatipu and the Remarkables mountain range.
