Sherwood Queenstown

Sherwood Queenstown is one of New Zealand’s most distinctive independent lodges, occupying a three-acre hillside property on Frankton Road with sweeping panoramic views of Lake Wakatipu and the Remarkables mountain range. The property is defined by its commitment to sustainability, community, and local identity, with rooms and studio suites that blend upcycled design elements with genuine comfort. Each space is individually conceived, featuring king-size beds, free Wi-Fi, and private bathrooms, with rooms varying from intimate mountain-view studios to spacious terraced apartments suited to longer stays. The lodge is home to a celebrated restaurant focused on seasonal, locally sourced wood-fired cuisine, alongside a yoga and wellbeing studio and regular community events including sound baths, film screenings, and local market days. Sherwood is located approximately 550 metres from the CBD along the lake, accessible on foot in about seven minutes or by a very short drive. Its slightly removed position provides a genuine sense of calm while keeping all of Queenstown’s adventure operators, restaurants, and transport links within easy reach. The property’s focus on authentic experience rather than standard hotel amenities makes it particularly appealing to design-conscious, sustainability-minded travelers.
