How do we rate a property?
We rate all our hotels, resorts, and lodges using our own bespoke grading system. We'll only invite a property into our collection once it's been assessed by one of our specialists. If it doesn't impress us, it doesn't make the cut.
From the quality of the food served in the restaurant to the amenities offered in each bedroom, we carefully rate each property to make sure it meets our high expectations.

Soon after you entered your “lodgings,” one of just eleven fabulously comfortable and stylishly furnished suites and villas. All come with private terraces and offer views of the Queenstown lakeside, and nearby mountains.
Then you looked at a list of activities you were thinking of trying in Queenstown the next day: white water rafting, paragliding, bungee jumping, jet boating and heli-skiing, just to name a few. But hiking, horse riding, wineries, trout fishing, scenic flights to places like the unforgettable Milford Sound and hidden lakes at the Lodge beckon as well...
