Welcome to Queenstown Country Lodge"Amanda and I welcome you to our website. Thanks for making that click and we hope you like what you find here. Our aim is to offer you.. “Personalized luxury accommodation and experiences in a relaxed friendly country atmosphere.”
Queenstown Country Lodge is our dream. After working for Real Journeys, Managing Wilderness Lodge Arthur's Pass and skippering/hosting a boat for an American couple in the Mediterranian, Bahamas and USA, we decided to create our own country lodge near Queenstown, New Zealand, offering luxury bed and breakfast accommodation in a beautiful rural setting surrounded by spectacular mountains.
Located in New Zealand’s Southern Lakes region, our luxury lodge is close to the award winning vineyards, activities and attractions of the Southern Lakes, Fiordland and Central Otago areas and just far enough from Queenstown to ensure you enjoy the peace and tranquility of the New Zealand countryside.
Queenstown Country Lodge is set on 5 hectares (11 acres) of large secluded gardens and farmland and surrounded by mountains. We have combined the warmth and welcoming atmosphere of a country Inn with the comfort and class of luxury boutique accommodation.
Whether you are relaxing in the guest lounge by the log fire after a day skiing, rejuvenating in the garden spa pool after a walk in the mountains, sharing a glass of Central Otago wine before a wonderful meal or later on in the eveing being guided across the spectacular and fascinating southern sky by John, Queenstown Country lodge will meet your every needs.
Make the Lodge home while you explore Queenstown, one of the truly wonderful holiday destinations in the world. The mountains and lakes around Queenstown are paradise to skiers, trekkers, walkers, mountain bikers, photographers and fishermen from all over the world.
"We would love the opportunity to host you at Queenstown Country Lodge." Amanda and John
January Update......
First of all, Amanda and I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and New Year...we certainly did even though we were very busy..
If you need some reminders as to why you should come and visit Queenstown (and of course stay at Queenstown Country Lodge)here are some recent news items.... 1. During February there are 5 major music events in the area...ask us for more details. 2. The Hills Golf Course (1 of 5 in the area) and just 5 minutes drive from the Lodge will host the inaugural Pro-Am Championship at the end of March. This will be a great boost to tourism in the Queenstown area. 3. The approach to Queenstown International Airport has been voted the 7th best in the world. Our Lodge is just 5 minutes drive from the airport which is nestled in amongst magnificant mountains. 4. The internationally known Warbirds over Wanaka air display is on from the 6th-8th April. This event sees most accommodation in the Queenstown-Wanaka area booked out. We are just 40 minutes drive from the airshow's location.
Guests at the Lodge have been enjoying the abundance of fresh produce from our gardens along with wonderful local Pinot Noir wine and of course New Zealand's flagship wine, the Sauvignon Blanc when dining here. Guests may also want to try one of the many award winning restaurants found within 10 minutes drive of the Lodge.
This year is the 150th Anniversary of the discovery of gold in the region. This event saw Queenstown bloom into a bustling town and there are a number of activities planned to mark the occasion. It is also the 100th Anniversay of the SS Earnslaw, a magnificant tripple expansion steam engine driven vessel, respectively named "Lady of the Lake."A trip on her is always a highlight for visitors to the region.
Well back to gardening and irrigating as at present we have not had any rain for over a month.
Please remember, if we can help you with any information, advice or suggestions do not hesitate to call or email.
Special good wishes for 2012 to all our guests who have stayed with us......we hope the New Year is treating you all well.
Warmest regards John and of course Amanda.
