Minaret Station

Set at the head of a picturesque glacial valley within the untouched landscapes and beauty of the Southern Alps, Minaret Station Alpine Lodge is accessible only by helicopter. Guests are treated to an exclusive and authentic experience and will enjoy a level of comfort and style never before available in New Zealand’s wilderness. Each of the four separate chalets feature a king-size bed, ensuite bathroom, hot tub, and private deck where guests can relax and unwind beneath the stars.

Guests both at Minaret Station and staying within the Queenstown area, can enjoy Minaret Station’s guided helicopter experiences. Go beyond the beaten path to experience the incredible Fiordland, Aoraki Mt Cook and Mt Aspiring National Parks. Or those seeking deeper adventure can enjoy hiking, fly-fishing, heli-skiing, mountain biking and hunting amidst the spectacular Southern Alps. Set amongst 50,000 acres of working high country farm on the shores of Lake Wanaka, much of the food that the Chefs prepare at the Alpine Lodge is grown on the property.
