Those who know Queenstown will fondly remember Eichardt’s as the buzzing local tavern. Today, this much-loved lakefront icon still stands, but it is now a stylish five room boutique hotel – and arguably one of New Zealand’s finest retreats. Acclaimed for its elegant opulence, Eichardt’s style is contemporary provincial – with modern comforts working in complete harmony with distinctive antiques and luxurious furnishings. The wonderfully cosy suites – choose from Lake or Mountain View – boast super king beds, inviting fireplaces, dressing rooms and indulgent bathrooms. The contemporary interior décor is the work of a leading interior designer – an endearing tribute to this historic landmark. The Parlour, with its overstuffed chairs and comfortable sofas, is the perfect place for a leisurely breakfast. Popular with guests and locals alike, the House Bar remains a Queenstown institution – open for lunch as well as tapas in the evenings. Perfect for larger parties or those looking to stay longer, the recently completed Lakefront Cottage is a self-contained four bedroom retreat literally just steps from the hotel. Lakefront Cottage guests have full use of Eichardt’s hotel facilities. The buzz of Queenstown is right on your doorstep – from the stunning alpine scenery to the cafés, restaurants, shops and array of adventure activities. Complimentary evening drinks by the fire are an Eichardt’s tradition, before heading out to one of Queenstown’s pre-eminent restaurants.
