Thoughtfully reimagined, the property blends warm natural materials with expansive river and mountain views, offering an atmosphere of understated luxury and calm.
At its heart, a Roman-style spa invites deep relaxation, with thermal pools, sauna and curated treatments inspired by New Zealand botanicals, while dining, suites with private outlooks, and intimate scale create a sense of privacy and ease.
Ideally located just ten minute's drive from both Queenstown and Arrowtown, the resort offers effortless access to the region’s finest dining, shopping and experiences.

The most expansive one-bedroom suite at the resort, the Executive Shotover Suite unfolds across 82sqm with a generous, residential layout. A separate living and dining area, full kitchen, super king bedroom and internal fireplace create a sense of space and ease, while an expansive balcony—with outdoor bath—overlooks the Shotover River and surrounding alpine landscape.

Coronet Two Bedroom Suite
At 72sqm, the Coronet Two-Bedroom Suite offers generous, well-balanced space for shared stays, combining two ensuite bedrooms with a spacious living and dining area.

Dining
Dining at Coronet Ridge unfolds at Elevation Bar & Restaurant, where floor-to-ceiling views stretch across the Shotover River, Wakatipu Basin and surrounding alpine peaks. Led by a seasonally driven approach, the menu celebrates Central Otago produce through contemporary New Zealand cuisine, from relaxed breakfasts and long lunches to refined evening dining. The atmosphere is effortlessly versatile—sunlit terraces in warmer months, or a more intimate, fireside setting in winter—complemented by a considered selection of local wines, craft beers and signature cocktails. Thoughtfully paced and quietly sophisticated, the experience is as much about place as it is about flavor.
Experiences
Coronet Ridge offers a considered balance of relaxation and recreation, allowing guests to shape their stay around both the landscape and the seasons. Days can begin with alpine exploration— hiking and biking trails, or curated Queenstown experiences—before returning to the sanctuary of the resort.
On-property, guests are invited to unwind at a slower pace, from the Roman-inspired spa and thermal facilities to the indoor pool, squash courts and private cinema. Thoughtfully designed to complement, rather than compete with, the setting, each experience encourages a gentle rhythm of activity and retreat—grounded in the beauty and stillness of the surrounding alpine environment.
