Lakefront Luxury

Images supplied by Eichardt's Private Hotel.

A few months ago the very stylish Eichardt’s Private Hotel in Queenstown opened the purpose-built Eichardt’s Lakefront Cottage just a few paces away from the main hotel on the Lake Wakatipu waterfront. The four two-bedroom suites (available in a number of different configurations) have been lavished in that same superb attention to detail that acclaimed New Zealand interior designer, Virginia Fisher is known for. (Fisher incidentally, was recently named one of the top five hotel interior designers worldwide by Time Magazine). She’s brushed the airy, split-level cottage suites with a fresh, creamy-gold palette; and with sunny skylights, electric shutters, well-equipped kitchens and simple but elegant furnishings, there’s more of a comfortable home-away-from-home feel as opposed to the distinctly opulent style of Eichardt’s itself.
