Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set right on the shore of Lake Wakatipu, the retreat sits two minutes on foot from central Queenstown dining and lakefront trails.
The rooms

The indoor pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Stone pillars and daybeds flank the heated indoor lap pool, set under vaulted ceilings in the subterranean grotto.
The spa and gym
The timber-slatted fitness studio operates 24 hours, and the spa provides deep-tissue rituals using Sans [ceuticals] botanicals.

The Terrace
Tables beside an open fireplace look across Lake Wakatipu, serving seafood, lobster rolls, and chilled champagne.

Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.

A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.

Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.

A place apart: the property is the destination.
