Luxury today is no longer about thread counts and marble bathrooms. The new luxury is about connection, immersion and the stories you take home.
At Waimarino Lodge, every detail is being designed around experience. Think private dinners created with foraged ingredients, after hours adventures you cannot book anywhere else, and wellness rituals inspired by the land itself.
As our owner Andrew McIntosh says: “We are creating experiences for our guests that are absolutely unique, moments they will remember for the rest of their lives.”
We cannot wait to welcome you to Waimarino and share these unforgettable experiences with you.

“What started as a quiet idea has grown into something far bigger: a place where nature, design, and experience come together in a way that feels both grounded and elevated.” – Andrew McIntosh, Founder of Waimarino Lodge
We’re honoured to be featured in Denizen magazine, sharing the story of Waimarino Lodge and the vision behind creating a sanctuary on the shores of Lake Wakatipu. Link in bio for full article.

We’re not looking for a chef. We’re looking for a firestarter.
Someone who gets up before the sun because the flames won’t light themselves. Someone who knows the difference between a good fish and the one – because the fisherman called you on his way to the dock. Someone who dreams in smoke, salt, and seasons.
At The Design Group, we’re creating something extraordinary. Waimarino Lodge is just the beginning – and we’re searching for a Group Lead Chef to shape the culinary identity across our portfolio of ultra-luxury properties.
This is your chance to build a legacy from the ground up. Design the kitchen. Shape the menu. Hunt, forage, fish, preserve, create.
You’ll be backed by a full creative studio who’ll help tell your story to the world. And you’ll be based in the raw heart of Aotearoa New Zealand, where your ingredients live outside your back door.
Visit www.thedesigngroup.co.nz to learn more and apply.
We’ve cleared the space. Now we need someone bold enough to light the fire.

Did you know Waimarino has developed its own signature gin?

Inspired by Bob’s Cove’s calm waters, Still Waters Gin reflects the richness of Queenstown’s natural landscape. Crafted with native botanicals like Horopito Bush, Kawa, and the smooth umami of West Coast kelp, it’s bold, complex, and truly unique.

We can’t wait to be serving a sundowner Still Waters Gin on the deck of the Waimarino guest lounge—a taste of this place, in every sip.
