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
