The hotel
The lodge sits on a ridge 120 metres above Lake Wakatipu, ten minutes' drive from Queenstown. Every room faces the lake and the Remarkables range.
It is built from schist stone and beech wood, with a big fireplace in the lounge and four cedar hot tubs on the terrace. In winter we run guests to Coronet Peak and The Remarkables every morning.

Not really. We run a shuttle to town every hour from 8am to 10pm, and to the ski fields each morning in winter.
Usually mid-June to the end of September. The fields post opening dates in April.
No need. There are four and they are rarely all in use. Robes and towels are in your room.
