A feast of treats

High Country culinary wonders await you in the Minaret Station. By a series of high wooden boardwalks, the exclusive chalets are linked to the Mountain Kitchen. Dine on the local delicacies with fresh produce native to the area. There is a wealth of excellent wines on offer from the well-stocked cellar or enjoy a cool cocktail by one of the roaring outdoor fires beneath the stars.

A mountain of adventures

As you might imagine in such a unique location as the Minaret, this resort plays host to an excellent list of activities. Indoors you can enjoy the mountain location’s library and unwind with a book or relax and rejuvenate in the sumptuous spa pool. The Minaret has the privilege of its own private helipad, so there are plenty of opportunities to explore New Zealand’s awe-inspiring scenery from a lofty vantage. These helicopter adventures will allow you to discover this incredible wilderness of the Southern Alps before returning to your private chalet by the fireside.
