Matakauri Lodge Queenstown New Zealand
The Lodge and adjoining villas,
one of New Zealand's most private and serene vacation retreats was
constructed in 2000, a contemporary New Zealand design with
extensive use of cedar and local schist stone designed to be in
harmony with the outstanding natural alpine environment, lake,
mountains, flora and fauna and less than 10 minutes drive from the
destination resort of Queenstown.
The Matakauri natural and organic Spa is safely nestled amongst
native bush and exotic trees, offering absolute privacy as well as
stunning panoramic alpine views. After careful consultation with
experienced therapists, a totally personal and holistic care package
is blended exclusively for you from natural ingredients. Ingredients
will change according to the season and are sourced or grown locally
wherever possible. Natural products are used exclusively and organic
products when available.
Dining at Matakauri every effort is made to source the freshest
local and where possible organic produce. Bread, pasta, ice
cream and petit fours are all produced at Matakauri and the dinner
menu changes daily
