Market Magazine – Market Takes You Travelling

By Jim Flynn

Eichardt’s Private Hotel is the Grand Dame of Queenstown and is the place to stay.

We were so glad to come to Queenstown yesterday and to check in to such a nice place. The staff here is amazing, nothing is a bother, it is a beautifully presented hotel and the setting is literally perfect you can walk everywhere in town. You are right on the lake also. All great and wouldn’t complain about a single thing as I love boutique hotels and this one is a gem.

Oysters & Champagne

Why not celebrate a successful day of shopping with a glass of bubbly and fresh oysters? When you’re looking for a little extra indulgence or a treat for a special occasion, they’re always a top choice.

Enjoy front-row seats overlooking Lake Wakatipu, with our favourite combination. Pop a bottle of Bollinger, and sample fresh seasonal oysters whilst enjoying the New Zealand sunshine.

Promoting local and regional delights, artisans sell gifts, coffee, food, plants and a great selection of local produce. Open every Saturday 9am – 2pm until 20th April 2024, come and relax, and enjoy outstanding mountain views over coffee and brunch. Stroll through the market and buy that unique gift you’ve been looking for or take time to the range of enjoy live music that plays every week.


Visit Remarkables Market

The location is unique, the view is picture-postcard perfect and the rooms are generously sized and sumptuously appointed. You can choose between staying in the main building, which was originally an 1860s woolshed, or a selection of larger apartments a stone’s throw away. Both will leave you wanting a late checkout.


The Grille restaurant serves up relaxed and classic French excellence and Otago’s stunning pinot noirs are under an hour away. Eichardt’s own label house pinot is also a joy if you don’t want to leave your luxurious confines. The feeling of old-world sophistication and top-class aesthetic would put many an English country manor to shame.



If you are planning a jaunt in Fiordland then Eichardt’s Private Hotel is the ideal casual, elegant and beautiful bookend.
