Luxurious Villas By Region:
South Island Alpine Retreat, New Zealand
Description:
The South Island Alpine retreat sits in sprawling grounds on the
bush-clad fringes of Lake Wakatipu. Built in the grand style of the
finest alpine lodges and finished with native New Zealand timber and
stone, the Lodge is a sanctuary of comfort.
From the moment you arrive, you will experience the uniqueness of the area. The long driveway meanders across a green pasture where you will find sheep grazing. To your right are magnificent views of Mount Earnslaw.
The setting is picture perfect - an alpine mountain lodge framed by majestic mountains and crystal clear lake. Interiors that are rustic yet ready to pamper. Furniture that is rugged, relaxed and featured antiques pieces. Natural materials -- old steamer wharf beams, local schist stone. Distressed wood, rock fireplaces. Hand wrought materials. Period paintings.
Accommodation at the South Island retreat are provided in spacious, lakeside rooms and suites, filled with sumptuous furnishings and rich rugs. Natural materials are employed widely throughout, reflecting the Lodge's special relationship with the environment, and all our rooms are placed to take full advantage of the magnificent lake and mountain views.
The five lakeside rooms feature their own balcony or terrace; king-size bed; spacious sitting area; armoire; and ensuite bathroom with granite-topped double vanities, separate shower and bath.
Three magnificent 700 sq ft Suites offer bedroom and sitting areas, which have their own stone fireplace, capacious bathroom with steam shower and separate tub and 400 sq ft private terraces, which feature heart-stopping views of the Lake.
Chalets reflect New Zealand colonial architecture and complement the main Lodge through the use of schist stone and timber beams.
Each chalet comprises two 700 sq ft suites with open stone fireplaces and a central living room. The Stoney Creek Suites may be combined with the living room to create The Richardson Staterooms. Our unique location and wondrous setting provides peace, luxury, sumptuous cuisine and countless activities.
Nightly room rates are for two people with carte blanche use of sports equipment and facilities as well as breakfast, pre-dinner cocktails, dinner, and after-dinner house ports, cognacs and liqueurs that may be enjoyed in The Great Room or around the outdoor terrace open fire. The self-service bar in the game room/pub is open at any time at no extra charge.
