The Penthouse by Eichardt’s is the top of the line with a granite kitchen, a sauna and a cedar hot tub set on the largest private waterfront terrace in Queensland.

Once a hangout for gold miners, Eichardt’s Bar offers a tempting tapas menu featuring ingredients from local farms as well as a selection of traditional cocktails made with house-infused spirits. Dine at The Grille and admire views of the lake and the city through soaring floor-to-ceiling windows. This chic yet relaxed restaurant offers all-day dining that kicks off with a lavish brunch menu. Later in the day, return for sirloin steaks, oysters and caviar, or try the signature dish - Eichardt’s legendary seafood chowder. Wine tours, romantic private dining and gourmet BBQ cruises are available for an additional fee.

Make the most of Queenstown’s stunning natural landscape with a host of outdoor adventures. Hotel guests can set sail on a private champagne yacht cruise, enjoy a helicopter tour over the Southern Alps and take advantage of bespoke sightseeing tours and golf excursions. Located in a former bank vault, Vault Spa offers treatments designed to soothe the senses and ultra-luxe spa packages to help you feel like a million bucks.
