Lodge Lorien

Lodge Lorien is more than a place to stay - it’s a place to breathe deeply, stretch out, and be surrounded by the wild, cinematic beauty of Glenorchy. Set high above the shores of Lake Whakatipu, with uninterrupted views of the Humboldt Mountains, this private villa offers rare seclusion wrapped in soft light, silence, and style. Accessible by scenic drive or private helicopter, it’s a world apart yet perfectly connected.

Every detail of the lodge has been designed to elevate stillness into luxury. Natural stone and hardwoods anchor the soaring interiors, where grand fireplaces, vaulted ceilings, and walls of glass blur the lines between inside and out. The four king suites are each a retreat in themselves, with ensuites that invite you to linger and views that feel entirely your own. In the master suite, a private fireside den offers an intimate space to read, reflect, or simply disappear into the view.

Beyond the bedrooms, the lodge unfolds into spaces made for deep rest and effortless gathering. An entertainer’s kitchen with a timber breakfast bar, a private cinema, a games room and bar, a wine cellar, and a gym all flow into outdoor living areas framed by native bush, schist rock, and sky. Soak in the hot tub as the evening light fades, or share stories by the open fire in the courtyard as stars appear overhead.

From heli-skiing to wilderness walks, lake kayaking to long lunches prepared by a private chef, Lodge Lorien is designed to hold space for whatever you need most. Whether it’s adventure, reconnection, celebration, or calm, you’ll find it here, embraced by landscape and elevated by design.
