HawkRidge Alpine Suite

HawkRidge Estate was purchased in the spring of 2014, by Dougal and Michelle Burfoot. It was a bare 2 aces full of potential. Planting begun with the orchard and shelter trees. With seasons very distinctive in Queenstown; autumn colour, winter snow, spring flowers and summer fruit quickly made themselves known to all. A shed and studio were added in 2018, now known as the Chalet but formally known as Scott Base after the Dougal's and Michelle's son Scott, who helped with the original planting and stone work. The main home, HawkRidge Chateau was added in 2018/2019, designed by Dougal in a modern, rustic style but with influences from the history of Queenstown and Central Otago. Always hoping to build a castle Dougal couldn't resist bespoke candle lighting and heavy wooden doors. The High Country Rooms, The Alpine Suite and the HawkRidge Chalet were opened to guests in November 2019. ​Dougal and Michelle enjoy welcoming guests to their very special home.

Handcrafted lighting around the spacious room & quality artwork sets the scene for a relaxing holiday/vacation. The suite has a king size bed with full kitchenette, microwave oven, indoor and outdoor eating areas, wardrobe space & luxurious bathroom with separate toilet. Underfloor heating will keep you nice and warm. Free WIFI, smart TV and fridge. ​Laundry facilities available on request for small additional charge. A short walk along the stone steps and through the tussocks will reveal a hot tub for you to soak in after a hard day skiing on the nearby slopes. The hot tub is "open air" with 360-degree alpine views and with no city lights - there’s no better way to star gaze at night or watch the twinkling lights on the mountain. Note the hot tub is shared with other guests, but can be booked in 45 minute time lots for your exclusive use. Features include: Welcome Basket filled with a divine medley of local delights including a local bottle of wine, cheese, fresh fruits, crackers & chutneys. Complimentary for guests staying 2 or more nights Enjoy a complimentary breakfast including cereal, yogurt, berries, toast, local jams and fresh fruit
