“Views and relaxation”
Beautiful surroundings, attentive staff, outstanding view of the mountains and lake Wakatipu. It’s a short 3 minute drive to Glenorchy town. You could walk but it is along a highway. If you get a chance, drive the extra 30 minutes to paradise and then another 20 minutes through the Ford’s and back country. JUST WOW

Everything! Scenery majestic. Staff professional, friendly and obliging. The structure and design of the building with locally sourced schist and wood. Interior decor, with art, bronze sculptures, and furnishings impressive. Attention to detail exceptional.

Wonderful team of staff who understands hospitality at its heart, and the best kitchen team I’ve ever encountered in a property. Kudos to Chef Callum for feeding us on both nights, you have spoiled us indeed! Big thank you to Deb and Raphael, for taking such great care of us. Property is well-maintained and in pristine condition, amazing food, beautiful views, excellent service.
