Coronet Ridge Resort in Queenstown 9371, open January–December.
Guests arrive at Coronet Ridge Resort via a scenic drive through Queenstown's mountain landscape, immediately greeted by panoramic views of The Remarkables and Lake Wakatipu.
The property's elevated position on Arthurs Point Road creates an arrival experience that sets the tone for an intimate celebration, where every moment feels suspended between sky and water.
From ceremony setup to final send-off, the natural amphitheater of the surrounding peaks becomes your backdrop.
We had the most incredible stay at Coronet Ridge Resort. From the moment we arrived, we received a warm welcome from the staff, who went above and beyond — nothing was ever too much trouble. We stayed in a suite with a stunning view over the Shotover Gorge, which was absolutely breathtaking. The hotel has been recently refurbished and the design is beautifully done, creating a relaxed, modern, and welcoming atmosphere throughout. Breakfast in the restaurant was delicious, and the incredible views made it even more special. It was very hard to check out and leave such a beautiful place. I would highly recommend Coronet Ridge Resort to anyone looking for a relaxing and memorable stay.
