An escape on the shores of Lake Wakatipu, surrounded by majestic alpine landscapes, snow-capped peaks and skies that shift by the hour. Rosewood Matakauri is the embodiment of a vibrant destination.

Queenstown’s scenery is cinematic. The Remarkables and Cecil Peak rise dramatically above the waterline, framing a landscape where all four seasons reliably rewrite the view. A tranquil refuge opens to uninterrupted vistas of mountains and crystalline waters—natural theatre, mere moments from town.

Open fireplaces, organic textures and a collection of art curated with a bold local point of view create a dialogue between indoors and out. Each design choice complements the majesty of Central Otago beyond. This is a place where adventure finds you. The mountains and waters offer endless opportunities to connect with the pulse of exploration. From the exhilaration of heli-skiing on pristine slopes to the thrill of bunny jumping, every moment feels alive with discovery.

A place of bold pursuits and flavour just as dynamic. Menus are crafted daily with ingredients grown, foraged and harvested from the region's fertile ground and the chef’s own garden. From high-country lamb to lake-caught seafood, each dish is an elegant expression of modern New Zealand cuisine. Fresh and ultra-local.

At Rosewood Matakauri, nothing stands between you and the view.
