About Rodd & Gunn The Lodge Queenstown, in the operator's words
With an uninterrupted view of Lake Wakatipu and the surrounding rocky peaks, The Lodge by Rodd & Gunn is not only a regular destination for the locals but a must-see for visitors to Queenstown.
The space epitomises Rodd & Gunn’s rich heritage. From the oak floorboards, thick fur throws, and warm, moody atmosphere, it’s impossible not to relax in such a setting. Settle into a leather armchair in front of a blazing fireplace with a bespoke cocktail in hand, and soak in your surroundings.
The Lodge Bar Groups Executive Chef Matt Lambert has created a menu of locally sourced, seasonal produce. Noteworthy mentions include world-famous oysters from the southern town of Bluff and venison from the hills of nearby Cardrona.
And, don’t be afraid to ask for the perfect beverage pairing. Master Sommelier Cameron Douglas has thoughtfully curated one of the best wine lists in the southern hemisphere focusing on local wines to suit all palates.
