Travel – Eichardt’s Private Hotel

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.

Plenty of places lay claim to lakefront views in Queenstown, where the town stretches along the shores of Lake Wakatipu. But none shares the absolute lakefront positioning – and accompanying views – of Eichardt’s Private Hotel, built on the site of Queenstown’s first building (a woolshed-turned-hotel). As the town has continued to sprawl outwards, Eichardt’s remains the most exclusive address for those wanting to stay in the heart of the bustling town centre, while still offering a calm oasis of classic luxury. Each of the hotel’s seven suites offers picture-postcard views and open fireplaces, while the two-bedroom penthouse includes a full-service kitchen (complete with Gaggenau appliances), plus an outdoor lounge, fireplace and hot tub, all overlooking the lake. Add to that your own private sauna and you’ll be hard pressed to ever make it up the mountain. 2 Marine Pde, Queenstown, eichardts.com

 Stay: Eichardt’s Private Hotel

If you need another reason to escape our borders and get over to New Zealand, the new spa at Eichardt’s Private Hotel might do it. The luxury property arguably has the best spot in Queenstown, on the shores of Lake Wakatipu, and has been there since 1862, when it was originally set up during the gold rush. The award-winning hotel has five lake-view suites, two mountain suites, four lake-front apartments, a three-level residence and the penthouse, which has 240m of living area and an outdoor spa as well as those exceptional views. The new spa, tucked away in the heritage wing of the hotel, offers Manuka honey facials and Swedish massages, and you can even get a package that includes an outdoor spa session finished off with high tea in the hotel’s dining room.
