Where the lake meets the mountains.

In the quiet light of early morning, Rosewood Matakauri's private jetty provides an undisturbed vantage point to absorb the immense scale of the Remarkables before the day begins. Later, it serves as the departure point for excursions across the glass-like waters of Lake Wakatipu – the lodge's own gateway to Queenstown's alpine adventures.

A private sanctuary for a singular celebration.

The Four Bedroom Villa provides an exceptional venue for an intimate wedding where the drama of the landscape becomes part of the ceremony. Vows are exchanged on the private balcony, a space that appears to float above Lake Wakatipu, before guests retreat to the main living area for a reception as stylish as it is private.
