Welcome to Elysium Lodge on the South Island of New Zealand. This magnificent property is an exclusive-use luxury accommodation offering that sleeps 12 guests. Escape to nature and the breath-taking wilderness that this stunning area offers whilst enjoying it in the comfort of your own private lodge. Located just 5 minutes from the village of Glenorchy and a 45-minute drive or a 10-minute helicopter ride from Queenstown, Elysium Lodge is the ideal 'Escape to Paradise'.
Elysium Lodge is perfectly poised on one of the highest most beautiful ridges on the eastern side of Lake Wakatipu.
This dramatic residence is located on a stunning 450-acre pristine holding that was once a part of Wyuna Station and is still a working sheep, cattle, and deer farm. The property was historically part of the original Rees station that occupied the entire eastern side of Lake Wakatipu and beyond.
Immerse yourself in the Southern Alps and take in the breathtakingly beautiful scenery from this exceptionally private, luxury vacation lodge. Enjoy a wine beside the outdoor fireplace whilst you watch the various species of deer roam on the plains below. Take a stroll over the undulating grounds and see bird species found nowhere else on earth, or simply relax in the hot tub and take in the everchanging views of the surrounding mountains.
Designed by internationally renowned New Zealand architects, Mason & Wales, the dramatic contemporary facade is perfectly poised on the highest point of the Preserve overlooking Lake Whakatipu and the Humboldt Mountains to the West and Mt Earnslaw and the Dart River to the North.
Elysium Lodge features a large Master Retreat beside a private Den with a roaring gas fireplace; a generous open-plan living room or great room with a wood-burning open fire, an entertainer’s kitchen, and a dining area that opens onto an expansive wrap-around terrace. A long hallway to a separate guest wing incorporates four additional king-size ensuite bedrooms including a children’s retreat with 2 built-in bunk beds and play space as well as a large separate laundry and powder room.
Outside a heated spa and sauna provide the perfect post-activity recharge; whilst the outdoor fireplace and dining area are a fantastic entertaining option under the stars. The grounds also include an ample lawned area and a private helipad.
Downstairs there is a TV room, an impressive wine cellar, and a 3-car garage complete with a VW Touareg for guest use.
