Rodd & Gunn redefines The Lodge, Queenstown

 

Blending heritage with modern luxury: Rodd & Gunn's redefined 'The Lodge' in Queenstown's Central Otago is now open.

 

Rodd & Gunn is thrilled to celebrate the grand reopening of its first experiential retail space – The Lodge in Queenstown, New Zealand. Following an extensive renovation, the newly opened refurbishment breathes fresh life into the iconic venue, infusing modern design elements whilst honouring the familiar essence of the brand's spiritual home.

 

Initially opening its doors back in August 2016, The Lodge's standout addition is the bespoke bar, featuring intricate timber details, a striking black marble bar top, a pressed steel bar face, aged smoked mirror, and polished brass highlights. The elegant build provides the perfect spot for enjoying cocktails, crafted with the finest local distilleries of the South Island.

 

Helmed by Executive Chef, Matt Lambert, the newly expanded commercial-grade kitchen has produced a refreshed dining menu. From steamed green lip mussels to cacio e pepe and Lake Ohau wagyu t-bone steak, Chef Lambert's culinary expertise ensures a refined and memorable gastronomic experience.

 

Complementing the world-class dining options, Cameron Douglas – New Zealand's one and only Master Sommelier – has transformed The Lodge's beverage offering with Central Otago and New Zealand's finest wines. This includes the Rodd & Gunn Central Otago Pinot Noir – the brand's very first wine launched earlier this year.

 

From a structural lens, the front façade has been completely rebuilt to facilitate more internal space. Offering breathtaking views of Lake Wakatipu and the surrounding peaks, the custom-designed floor-to-ceiling bi-fold doors invite the vibrant energy of the lakefront to seamlessly flow into the venue.

 

Complete with oak floorboards and bluestone tiles, thick fur throws, and a wide array of seating options, the redesigned venue allows guests the flexibility to create their own unique experience, harmoniously balancing old and new.

 

Whether visitors are looking for an elegant dinner, cocktails at the bar, or New Zealand wine and snacks by the window, The Lodge Queenstown caters to all preferences with its warm and inviting atmosphere.

 

Indulge in a unique blend of heritage, luxury, and unparalleled views.
