The space Our Heritage lodge dates back to 1868 and has 6 cosy rooms which share 2 bathrooms, a private lounge with coffee and tea making facilities, and a terrace with lake and mountain views, perfect for sunrise and star gazing. On site we have a restaurant serving delicious meals with locally sourced ingredients and award winning drinks, and during warmer months we offer kayak trips. If you're hiking the Routeburn or Greenstone/Caples tracks we run transport to the trail heads. Kinloch Wilderness Retreat is set by the edge of Lake Whakatipu with stunning mountains for a backdrop, a quiet spot with only frogs and owls for noise after dark. We're not too far from the hustle and bustle of Queenstown, but far enough for you to get back to nature.

Around the rest of the site you have a communal fully equipped kitchen, lounge and dining area, TV room, hot tub with stunning views, our restaurant and small shop during opening hours, laundry facilities (not included in price), outdoor seating areas and of course the lakefront. Other things to note Whole lodge hire can be booked through our website. The last 9km of road to Kinloch is unsealed, however we've had different types of vehicle drive it with no problems. Phone reception is not guaranteed, neither is the hot tub if maintenance is required. The nearest big supermarket is in Queenstown, 75km down the road.
