Queenstown

Eichardt's opulent suites invite guests to soak up a sense of quiet before exploring one of the world's truly remarkable locations, Queenstown, in the South Island of New Zealand. Inhale the invigorating alpine air - then step out into the expectant evening and let the lights of Queenstown and canopy of stars guide you to one of the world class restaurants nearby. When winter's blanket descends over the town, the allure of open log fires, coffee aromas and cheery conversation beckon you in from the cold.

This stunning backcountry retreat sits on the lakeshore 45 minutes outside Queenstown in the Southern Alps New Zealand. Lofty beamed ceilings, rock fireplaces and vast picture windows frame the heroic stone and timber lodge housing the Great Room, Den, Game Room, Gym, spa and several indoor/outdoor dining venues.  Twelve rooms offer every conceivable amenity. Activities include an outdoor lap pool, bush walks, fly-fishing, jet boating, horse riding and scenic heli-flights to Milford Sound.

Nestled in native bush overlooking Lake Wakatipu, Matakauri Lodge, is one of the world's most private and serene vacation retreats, only a short distance to Queenstown, the alpine wonderland of New Zealand. The Lodge and its adjoining villas are luxuriously appointed and have been designed to be in harmony with the lakefront environment and surrounding bush. Matakauri Lodge is unique ... the first luxury lodge to open in the new Millennium in arguably the world's finest destination resort, Queenstown.
