Soak in spectacular vistas of the shimmering Lake Wakatipu while cosying up by your private gas fireplace, or relax and rejuvenate in your bubbling terrace spa, all from the comfort of one of just eight intimate suites at The Carlin Boutique Hotel in Queenstown. Offering new levels of opulence, this hillside refuge – one of the newest members of the exclusive Small Luxury Hotels of the World – promises to take your stay to new heights with, in the hotel's own words, better than five-star service. Gastronomic delights await at the contemporary ORO restaurant, where chefs trained in Michelin-starred restaurants transform fresh local produce into a fine-dining feast. For an added touch of extravagance, fly in from anywhere in Australasia on a chartered 12-seat private jet, for a unique start to your stay (surcharges apply).
