Your   Hosts

​That's us, Simone and Gavin, walking up in Glenorchy, about 35 minutes drive from The Alpine Retreat. I moaned the whole way but the stunning scenery was worth it.

We met in 2000, in Auckland, through dance, which is still a big part of our lives. We have traveled, lived and worked overseas, together and independently.   

We both fell in love with Queenstown Lakes and Central Otago after many holiday visits and a plan was formed to make a permanent move.  The Alpine Retreat was established in February 2015 when we finally found a magical property in Ben Lomond that was too beautiful to keep to ourselves, and so  we invite you to come visit. 

We look forward to providing you with a memorable stay in truly magnificent surroundings.   You will find many original and limited edition New Zealand artworks and sculpture in our home. 

We have been delighted to host many honeymoon and wedding anniversaries and special birthdays.  ​

You will be our only guests.
