Pre European Maori came through the Wakatipu in search of pounamu (greenstone) and to hunt the Moa (large pre-historic bird). Gold in the Shotover River was the first draw card for European settlers in 1862.
High country farming of merino sheep, deer and cattle have been significant since the early days, and over 50 years ago skiing at nearby Coronet Peak was first commenced. More recently film location scouts have discovered these unspoilt backdrops as superb locations for the film industry. The huge box-office hit Lord of the Rings owes much to this dramatic scenery, some of the best the world has to offer.
A walk of a few minutes from Brunswick Lodge finds over one hundred restaurants and cafes creating dishes made from the freshest seasonal New Zealand produce. Local wines from the burgeoning vineyards in the area all add up to the superb pacific rim cuisine found in Queenstown.
Also nearby is a fantastic range of shops open till late, specialising in innovative ideas offering designer clothing, accessories, jewellery, and the finest technical outdoor clothing and equipment.
Nearby are easily accessible ski fields, and for adrenaline junkies there is white water rafting, bungy jumping, parapenting, sky diving and jet boating up shallow river canyons. There is also excellent fly fishing in crystal clear waters, vineyard tours, tramping and 4WDing in our famous wilderness national parks, and a great selection of championship golf courses.
We can offer you the services of our lodge manager either before your arrival or during your stay. You will be welcomed to Brunswick Lodge on your arrival and shown over the complex.
