Immerse yourself in the incredible South Island scenery at The Lodge at the Hills. Nestled next to a golf course, this sleek vacation rental has panoramic views of the snow-capped peaks that have inspired countless filmmakers and artists—and remain a favorite with skiers. Make this gorgeous glacial valley the backdrop to a family reunion, a celebration of a milestone birthday or anniversary, or even a unique destination wedding that looks straight out of Middle Earth.

The lodge’s luxury amenities include a media room, bar, wine cellar and Wi-Fi; an art collection is also available. Revel in the views from outdoor living areas with a heated infinity pool, grass tennis court, sauna, barbecue, pizza oven, sitting and lounging areas, and alfresco dining for twelve. Once on site, take the golf cart around the idyllic setting.

The glass walls of this expansive contemporary estate reflect the scenery, while the metal roof echoes the colors of the mountains. Inside, open-concept layouts help showcase the views and encourage mingling, and unique architectural elements add visual interest. A sloped ceiling, for instance, connects the sitting area, breakfast table and fully equipped kitchen; a wave-like ceiling holds sculptural beauty in the formal dining room.

The six bedrooms at Lodge at the Hills can accommodate groups of twelve on holiday together. There are four bedrooms with king beds, en-suite bathrooms and lounge areas with fireplaces, including one room with its own kitchenette that could double as a honeymoon suite. The other two bedrooms have a queen bed and shared bath, and two twin beds and an en-suite, respectively.

In warmer weather, guests of the lodge enjoy private access to The Hills golf course, just next door; in cooler temperatures, you’ll find the ski areas at The Remarkables and Coronet Peak less than a 32 km drive away. Don’t miss a visit to central Queenstown, about 21 km away, which has boutiques and restaurants overlooking the waters of Lake Wakatipu.
