Exceptional check-in experience

Recent guests gave the check-in process a 5-star rating.
Quintessential romantic alpine Chalet. Cosy wood burner fire + outdoor fire in the old ruins. Open air hot-tub, stone & tussock surrounds with stunning views of majestic Coronet Peak & surrounding mountains. HawkRidge was named after soaring mountain hawks you can watch from your own stone patio. Newly built luxury chalet with honeymooners in mind - its more than just a base for local experience, it offers the ultimate romantic Queenstown alpine experience. You won’t want to leave!

The space
We look forward to welcoming you to HawkRidge
The open plan Chalet includes a warm fire set on schist stone hearth, the lounge adjoins the kitchen, which has chain hung shelves. Bespoke lighting around the chalet sets the scene for romance. A king size bed with wardrobe space & suitcase solutions. The chalet has a separate luxurious bathroom, with a chain hung vanity.

Wake up and open one eye to enjoy the stunning views of Coronet Peak and surrounding mountains or sit under cover on the large stone patio and watch the rain trickling down the rain chains. Extensive historical artefacts such as antique milk cans, farm implements, and wine barrels will transform you to a bygone era.

Take a short walk along the stone steps and through the tussocks to the private open fire area in the old ruins. Continue along the path to the private hot tub and soak away those aches and pains from a hard days skiing on the nearby slopes. The hot tub is "open air" with 360 degree alpine views and with no city lights - there’s no better way to star gaze at night or watch the twinkling lights of the ski field on the mountain above.

The Chalet has a cosy fire, heat pump & air conditioner, free WIFI, smart TV, microwave, induction element, fridge, outdoor barbeque with an additional gas element. Laundromat facilities available just a 10 minute drive away.

Please note the hot tub is shared with other guests and as we want you to be able to plan your spa we allocate either the odd hours for use (9am, 11am, 1pm, 3pm, 5pm, 7, 9, 11 etc) or the even hours (8am, 10am, 12, 2pm, 4pm, 6pm 8pm etc) We will let you know your hours when you arrive.
HawkRidge has a dedicated ski/snowboard storage and drying shed (Scott Base) for your use.

HawkRidge Chalet is located on Threepwood Farm ( a rural lifestyle community, set within a 500 acre high country farm), so don’t be surprised to hear lamb’s baaing in spring or deer roaring in autumn. HawkRidge has been planted for autumn colour, native bird life and privacy. Only 5 minutes from the historical picturesque Arrowtown and 20 minutes from vibrant Queenstown..
