The Lindis Lodge

The Lindis, for example, which sits on a 2,400-acre plot of wilderness just 30 minutes from the town of Wanaka on New Zealand’s South Island.  

Surrounded by the Ahuriri Conservation Park, the eight-suite hotel’s stealthy design playfully traces the lines of neighbouring peaks and troughs. It’s the perfect home base for adventure seekers, with access to a range of activities from walking trails to mountain biking, fly-fishing to horse riding. It’s a great way to work up an appetite for The Lindis’s exceptional menu, which features grown-on-site produce, line-caught fish and free-range meat.

For a (much) bigger thrill, The Lindis can arrange private heliski charters to some spectacular terrain. With access to multiple mountain ranges and more than 800 runs, the hotel’s appointed group of experienced guides and pilots have been making the dreams of skiers and snowboarders come true for over 30 years.
