Rooms & Suites

114 rooms across six categories and four terraced floors. Every one of them looks at either Lake Wakatipu or The Remarkables — the building was set on the escarpment for exactly that reason.

Overview


How the floors work

The resort steps down the hillside in four terraces. Floor one holds the Alpine Classic rooms, which face the courtyard and the mountains behind; floors two and three carry the lake-facing categories; the fourth is suites only. Corridors are short — no category is more than forty paces from a lift.

Rates quoted below are indicative lead-in rates per room, per night, in New Zealand dollars, including GST and breakfast for two in the Cecil Dining Room. Winter, school holidays and event weekends carry higher rates; longer stays and packages are usually better value than the nightly rate.

Alpine Classic room

From NZ$319 per night

Alpine Classic

Our entry category, and the quietest rooms in the building — they sit on the first terrace with the escarpment behind them, so no road noise reaches them at all. A king bed or two long singles, a writing desk by the window and a walk-in shower.

  • Walk-in rain shower, heated floor
  • Writing desk, armchair and reading lamp
  • Nespresso machine and complimentary minibar water
  • 43" television, Chromecast, fibre wi-fi
Lake Superior room

From NZ$389 per night

Lake Superior

The category most guests book twice. Second and third terrace, full lake aspect, and a balcony deep enough for two chairs and a table — which matters in February, when the light on Cecil Peak holds until nine in the evening.

  • Private balcony with lake and Walter Peak views
  • King bed, wool throws, blackout curtains
  • Bath and separate walk-in shower
  • Nespresso machine, tea selection, minibar
Remarkables Executive room

From NZ$465 per night

Remarkables Executive

A larger room with a defined lounge corner, angled south-east so The Remarkables fill the window. Sofa converts for a third guest, and the desk is a proper working one — this is the room our conference delegates ask for by name.

  • Bath, walk-in shower, twin vanity
  • Complimentary pressing of two garments per stay
Lakefront Deluxe room with panoramic window

From NZ$529 per night

Lakefront Deluxe

Corner rooms on the third terrace with glazing on two sides — lake straight ahead, mountains to the left, and enough floor space for a seating group by the window rather than against a wall. Eight of them in the building, and they go first.

  • Two-sided glazing, window seating group
  • Wide balcony running the corner

Cliffside Signature Suite lounge

From NZ$715 per night

Cliffside Signature Suite

A true suite: bedroom and lounge behind separate doors, a dining table for four, and a gas fire that earns its keep from May onwards. Six of them on the fourth terrace, each with a different arrangement because the roofline changes across the building.
