About

Hidden Lodge Queenstown

Hidden Lodge Queenstown sits on a hillside above Queenstown, offering lake and mountain views from its sun terrace and garden. It’s a small, adults-only property with six suites, each appointed with a king bed, air conditioning, and a private balcony or patio. The lodge’s location provides a sense of seclusion while keeping the town’s restaurants and activities within a short drive.

Mornings begin with a made-to-order breakfast, and evenings bring complimentary antipasto. Guests can unwind in the sauna, book a massage, or soak in the wood-fired vintage hot tub. Ski storage and a fitness centre cater to year-round pursuits, and free parking makes exploring the region easy.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Check-in window is narrow — Guests must arrive between 14:00 and 17:00, which requires planning around flights or activities.
  • Adults-only and no pets — The lodge is adults-only and does not allow pets, which may not suit travellers with children or animal companions.
  • Limited room count — With only six suites, availability is limited and the property may feel intimate, which isn't for everyone.
  • Located a short drive from town — While the setting offers privacy, guests need a car or taxi to reach Queenstown’s central restaurants and attractions.

“A cosy, homely spot with breathtaking views over Lake Wakatipu and the mountains. Antipasto in the evening and a made-to-order breakfast each morning. Friendly staff go above and beyond. Rooms are top-notch with sublime views, and there’s a wood-fired vintage spa. Off-street parking, a gym, and a lounge with a fireplace complete the experience.”
