Minaret Station Alpine Lodge
New Zealand
Minaret Station is a genuine retreat from the modern world and a truly exclusive experience for anyone who visits. Its four private lodges, accessible only by helicopter, are bordered by National Parks, Lake Wanaka, alpine meadows, and glacial valleys, balancing wilderness with extreme comfort and returning a sense of wonder to even the best-travelled guests. Each lodge has a spacious bedroom and living area as well as a terrace, and its Mountain Kitchen creates menus from Central Otago’s abundant produce, including venison, lamb, and beef from Minaret’s own farm.
