Luxury travellers looking for something truly extraordinary will soon have two exceptional new options for their New Zealand itinerary. Building on the success of Kamana Lakehouse in Queenstown, the Kamana Collection has unveiled plans for two landmark properties that promise to set a new benchmark for high end accommodation in New Zealand.

Kamana Residences, Queenstown – opening Q4 2027.

Perched high above Queenstown, the Kamana Residences will comprise just 9 architecturally designed private residences, offering travellers complete exclusivity or the flexibility of 1 and 2 bedroom suites. Designed for discerning travellers seeking privacy, space and personalised service, every residence has been thoughtfully crafted to maximise uninterrupted views across Lake Wakatipu and The Remarkables and will feature expansive outdoor entertaining spaces with spa or infinity pools, indoor and outdoor fireplaces, a private home theatre and access to an impressive wellness precinct complete with magnesium pools, therapy rooms, a Himalayan salt relaxation cave and even a hyperbaric chamber. Signature wellness, dining and curated local experiences will complete what is shaping up to be one of the country's most exclusive accommodation offerings.

Kamana Lake Lodge, Rotorua – opening Q4 2027.

Equally exciting is the transformation of the former Moose Lodge on the shores of Lake Rotoiti into Kamana Lake Lodge. Rich in history, the estate famously welcomed Queen Elizabeth II during her visits to New Zealand. Now, this remarkable 100 acre property is being carefully reimagined for a new generation of luxury travellers. The lodge will feature just 14 rooms, 2 exclusive private villas, a signature restaurant, an elegant speakeasy style lounge, lakefront access and beautifully landscaped grounds. On offer will also be an array of premium facilities including a wellness spa with signature rituals, an exclusive nine hole golf course, tennis court, billiards room plus for the adventurous - kayaks and paddleboards to explore Lake Rotoiti.

The philosophy behind The Kamana Collection is centred around creating deeply personal experiences that connect travellers with New Zealand's landscapes, wellness and sense of place, rather than simply offering another 5 star hotel. With both properties scheduled to open in late 2027, the Kamana Collection is certainly one to keep firmly on your radar. If delivered as presented to us this week, these properties have the potential to become 2 of New Zealand's most sought after luxury stays, offering an experience unlike anything else currently available in the market! Watch this space – we can't wait to see them come to life!
