Terrace Lodge Queenstown

At Terrace Lodge, dinner can move from the kitchen to the terrace, with Lake Hayes and the surrounding mountains as your backdrop. The spacious kitchen and separate scullery make it easy to cook for eight, while the outdoor dining area and BBQ are made for long summer lunches. As the evening cools, settle in by the outdoor fireplace or watch the last light fade over the mountains from the spa pool.

Inside, the main living area gives everyone room to gather, and the separate media room is a welcome spot for a film or a quiet afternoon. The four bedrooms include two kings with en suite bathrooms and baths. The fourth bedroom can be set up as a king or two singles, giving families and friends flexibility when sharing the house.

Both Arrowtown and Queenstown are a short drive away. Spend the morning exploring Arrowtown, linger over lunch at a local cellar door, or head into Queenstown for the day before returning to the quieter setting above Lake Hayes.

MajorDomo Musings…

Leave one evening free for dinner at the house. Start with a glass of local wine on the terrace as the light shifts across Lake Hayes, then move over to the cosy warmth of the outdoor fire when the sun goes down.
