Location
The resort is on what was formerly a 19th century wheat farm, nestled in an impressive alpine amphitheatre of snow-capped mountains. Its proximity to Queenstown (only a 20-minute drive away) allows guests easy access to the cosmopolitan buzz of the town, while at the same time being far enough away for guests to be able to enjoy the tranquillity and splendour of the alpine countryside. The historic gold-mining town of Arrowtown is a short drive away (approximately 3 minutes) as are award-winning tourist attractions and the outdoor activities that have made Queenstown world famous. The airport is 15 km away.
