Overview
Enjoy a scenic stay at Kamana Lakehouse, a high-altitude property designed with comfort and elegance, offering views of Queenstown. With its deep-rooted connection to the area, this hotel provides the ideal setting for lakeside holidays, winter sports, and great food. You'll be surrounded by nature and have the chance to fully immerse yourself in the surroundings by skiing, biking, and walking. The city center is also easily accessible and just a 7-minute drive away.
Kamana Lakehouse offers spacious rooms that have a functional, contemporary design. Each room has a wall-to-wall window and a semi-private outdoor sitting space, providing various options to suit your needs—courtyard views, partial or obstructed views of the Remarkables, or unobstructed views of Lake Wakatipu. For an upgrade, the hotel's Lakeview Luxe rooms feature outdoor soaking tubs, while the more spacious Kamana Lakehouse offers a modern three-bedroom residence and a two-bedroom apartment, making it an ideal choice for large groups or families.
Begin each day with a hearty breakfast at Nest Kitchen + Bar, the hotel's on-site restaurant, where you can enjoy a fresh meal in the morning and savor modern classic dishes at dinner. Dine in the art deco-style setting with floor-to-ceiling windows for views of Lake Wakatipu while enjoying your meal or refreshing drink. If you're in the mood for some pampering, visit the private Kamana Soak hot tubs, where you can relax with unparalleled views of the lake and the Remarkables mountain range.
