Your high-country retreat awaits — where the pace slows and the landscape does the talking.

Guide Hill Lodges

Set within the vast stillness of the Mackenzie high country, the Guide Hill Lodges offer warmth, privacy, and comfort in a place shaped by open skies and mountain light. Each lodge feels like a home on the backcountry — designed for sharing time with family or friends, yet spacious enough for quiet retreat. Crafted from the finest natural materials and blending seamlessly into the land, the lodges are places to rest, reconnect, and take in views that stretch from Lake Pūkaki to Aoraki / Mount Cook.
