This must be the ultimate New Zealand escape, in a spectacular location overlooking Lake Wakatipu, just minutes from South Island's adventure capital, Queenstown.

The Owner’s Cottage is superbly positioned to offer uninterrupted lake and mountain views and will boast a spacious main lounge, study, kitchen and dining room. Four generous bedrooms with all of the amenities one could wish for - fireplaces, large bathrooms with views from the bathtubs Matakauri is now famous for, walk-in closets, in-room bars and private balconies overlooking the magnificent Lake Wakatipu complete the stylish cottage.

It is the third in Julian Robertson's portfolio, which also includes The Lodge at Kauri Cliffs and The Farm at Cape Kidnappers, is ideal for families or groups of friends.

Acclaimed Auckland interior designer Virginia Fisher has lavished her unique style throughout. It's the little things that give her designs such a sense of place: a silver rabbit rug, reindeer skins, and blankets made by the artisans who created costumes for The Lord of the Rings.

You can absorb the cinematic views from the hot tub on the front balcony, while the adjacent lakeside terrace is the spot for sundowners; help yourself from the bar or cellar. Don't feel like dressing up for dinner at the lodge? No problem, there's a barbecue and kitchen, and the chef can come to you.
