"An exclusive oasis perched on the shores of New Zealand’s Lake Wakatipu, Rosewood Matakauri boasts beautiful accommodations, locally inspired dining and bountiful opportunities for adventure."

An idyllic oasis perched on the shores of New Zealand’s Lake Wakatipu, Rosewood Matakauri has it all: waterfront serenity, alpine drama and an address that’s deceptively close to the hustle and bustle of Queenstown. The tranquillity of the natural surroundings make the resort feel a world away from it all, but getting to the heart of town takes just ten minutes.

Rosewood’s scant handful of accommodations come in the form of rooms, suites and villas, each perfectly placed to make the most of the region’s gorgeous natural surroundings. Virginia Fisher-designed interiors are as beautiful as they are welcoming and have a cosy, residential feel that creates the perfect sense of staying at a home away from home. All accommodations have spacious bathrooms with oversized tubs and private balconies from which to soak in the stunning vistas. Suites boast additional perks like open fireplaces, and the villas are the most exquisite options of all. Book the Matakauri Four Bedroom Villa for a lavish stay complete with a fully equipped kitchen and your own private sheltered courtyard and infinity edge jacuzzi.

The modern New Zealand cuisine of Chef Jonathan Rogers takes centre stage in Matakauri’s culinary scene, where bespoke menus are tailored to perfectly suit each and every guest. The resort’s ethos is very much a farm-to-table one: ingredients are foraged regionally, sourced from local farmers and even grown on-site in the property’s own gardens.

Queenstown, often hailed as New Zealand's adventure capital, is renowned for its range of outdoor activities, offering everything from skiing and snowboarding in the winter to bungee jumping, skydiving and jet-boating year-round. Put simply, it’s a thrill-seeker’s paradise, and guests of Rosewood Matakauri are perfectly placed to take advantage of all that the region has to offer. And there’s plenty: through Rosewood Matakauri alone, guests can bungy jump from Kawarau Bridge, take a ride on the world’s highest swing (160 metres up) or venture across Lake Wakatipu on a century-old steamship called TSS Earnslaw (after which BBQ and horseback riding awaits). In the colder months, guests can take helicopter rides to glaciers or enjoy downhill sports at Coronet Peak and The Remarkables, two local ski resorts. For on-site leisure and recreation, guests have lakefront access, a fitness room and spa, an outdoor pool and jacuzzi, walking trails and more.
