Our stay seriously could not have been better. The home and views are absolutely breathtaking - photos could never do them justice!! The fire (with ample wood and kindling) and heat pump meant for a very toasty winter stay. Doug and Michelle go above and beyond, providing absolutely everything you’d need or want and then some - including a freshly baked loaf of bread. The chalet is secluded and private. An absolute dream.

Malcolm Australia

Beautiful place. Amazing attention to detail, right down to the labels on the beautiful food the lovely homemade heart shaped bread and much more. Extremely comfortable, private and relaxing.

Phil New Zealand

The location, the design, the hosts, the views, the fire, THE VIEWS! and the hot tub.

Mark New Zealand

The location is magical and the chalet...wow it was the most charming cottage we have ever stayed in. Our hosts went beyond and above during our stay and all the lovely touches made us so welcome. Oh then there is the hot tub nestled amongst the tussock perfect place to star gaze at night was heaven.

Debbie New Zealand

  • Hii. Wen does it start snowing there. We r planning a trip in mid May. Any advice.
    Hi there Thank you for your enquiry. Our winter snowy season is from end of May to mid October. It is difficult to predict exactly when it will snow. The views are awesome all year round.
    Asked about: Chalet • Answered on April 8, 2021
  • Hi there, is it easy to drive to the cottage in a normal car. I have noticed some of the photos show a lot of snow coverage and we want to book this as a surprise for my son and his girlfriend and worried about the roads in winter? Sorry live in Australia so just a little unsure, Regards, Sioban
    Hi Siobhan Yes a normal car is fine to travel to the cottage in . We don’t have snow all the time and when there is snow , the council clear all the main roads . Generally it snows overnight and the roads are clear by the afternoon
    Answered on September 6, 2021
  • Hi there, Can you let me know the difference between the Chalet and the Alpine Honeymoon suite? Just deciding which one to go for for our trip in Winter. Thanks
    The Honeymooners Chalet is a stand alone Chalet with an open plan lounge kitchen & dining. It has an indoor &outdoor fire & a larger private outdoor area. The Alpine Suite is fully self-contained with is own entrance. It adjoins the main home.
    Answered on January 17, 2022
  • Hey there I’m wanting to book for a couple days in January how does it work with the spa do you have to book?
    The spa pool is shared with one other couple . The Chalet guests are welcome to use the spa on all the odd hours of day and night ( 3pm 5pm etc) . The other couple in our Alpine Suite use the spa on the even hours .

The open plan Chalet includes a warm fire set on schist stone hearth, lounge adjoins kitchen with chain hung shelves. Candle lighting around the chalet,a king size bed & luxurious bathroom, with a chain hung vanity a sets the scene for romance Wake up and open one eye to enjoy the stunning views of Coronet Peak & surrounding mountains or sit under cover on the large stone patio & watch the rain trickling down the rain chains. Artifacts such as antique milk cans farm implements & wine barrels will transform you to a bygone era Take a short walk along the stone steps & through the tussocks to the private open fire area in the old ruins. Continue along the path to the private hot tub & soak away those aches & pains from a hard days skiing on the nearby slopes. The hot tub is "open air" with 360 degree alpine views & with no city lights there’s no better way to star gaze at night or watch the lights on the mountain The Chalet has a cosy fire heat pump air conditioner free WIFI smart TV microwave oven induction element fridge outdoor barbeque with gas cook top. Laundry facilities are on request Note-hot tub is shared with other guests and can be booked in private 45 min time slots
HawkRidge Estate was purchased in the spring of 2014 by Dougal & Michelle Burfoot. It was a bare 2 aces full of potential. Planting begun with the orchard & shelter trees. With seasons very distinctive in Queenstown; autumn colour, winter snow, spring flowers & summer fruit add to the beauty A shed & workshop were added in 2018, now known as the HawkRidge Chalet a quintessential romantic alpine Chalet but formally known as Scott Base after the Dougal's & Michelle's son Scott, who helped with the original planting & stone work The main home HawkRidge Chateau was added in 2019, designed by Dougal in a modern, rustic style but with influences from the history of Queenstown and Central Otago. Always hoping to build a castle Dougal couldn't resist bespoke candle lighting and heavy wooden doors. The High Country Rooms, The Alpine Suite and the HawkRidge Chalet were opened to guests in Nov 2019 ​Dougal & Michelle enjoy welcoming guests to their very special home Guests staying for 2 or more nights are greeted with a Welcome Basket filled with local delights. A local bottle of Pinot Noir wine, cheese, crackers & chutneys complimentary breakfast of cereal, toast, local jams& fruit
HawkRidge is only 5 minutes from the historical picturesque Arrowtown and 20 minutes from vibrant Queenstown.
