Nestled between the Remarkables mountain range and Lake Wakatipu, in the shadows of The Remarkables ski field and the Jacks Point 18 hole Championship Golf Course, Lumberbox Lodge is nothing short of spectacular. Named after the creek in the alpine ravines behind, everything about this home reflects its natural surroundings. Nothing overlooked, from a spa surrounded by native shrubs to designer furniture and New Zealand art. Everything you could possibly need whether here to explore or relax.
Unfortunately we don’t live locally but we have our manager (Deborah from The Butler) on hand who is ready to help out if need be.
Lumberbox lodge is just an 8 minute drive from Queenstown airport and into Frankton shopping area. There you will find large supermarkets, a full range of shops and many cafes. Queenstown is a 20 minute drive away. The Jacks Point golf course is only a short walk or minutes drive . There is over 35km of walking, hiking and cycling tracks right at the back door. It is less than 1 1/2 hours drive from Invercargill and is on the route from Queenstown to Milford Sound. And only two minutes drive to the base and entrance of the Remarkable’s ski field.

You have the whole house to yourselves. The large open plan living, kitchen and dining area is the perfect space for your family to gather. The living area, anchored by a large cosy NZ wool rug has divine linen and leather seating and is flanked by a closed in fire.

There are three good sized bedrooms. The master has a comfortable chair to read a book in the sun or watch television. There is a deep bath in the ensuite bathroom along with a shower and twin sinks.

It really is important to have a car in Jacks Point. It will make access and getting around more enjoyable. When choosing Jacks Point you are choosing a luxurious home but also the serenity of the landscape and all it has to offer, yet it is close enough to the hustle and bustle of Queenstown only 20 minutes away. There is a bus which goes into town which takes about an hour due to a stop in Frankton. Taxis are readily available both ways. Bike hire is available in town.
The garage is not accessible to guests but there is ample on-site and off site parking.
Dogs allowed - subject to prior approval. Must be house trained.
It is important to read the house rules regarding the spa and that you add the spa sanitiser every night it is being used.
