ROKI Collection Queenstown set to openQueenstown, New Zealand

Mark your calendars (and maybe invest in a tiny private jet) because ROKI Collection Queenstown is landing lakeside on September 1, 2025, and it’s bringing serious glamour and a lot of Kiwi charm.

Positioned smack bang on the shores of Lake Wakatipu and framed by the epic Remarkables mountain range, ROKI dubs itself an “urban retreat” with all the tranquility of a remote lodge, but none of the mosquitoes.

Imagine fireplaces, private bathtubs, walk‑in wardrobes, and panoramic views in each of the 15 swanky suites, ranging from cosy one‑bedroom hideaways to full‑on opulence in the four‑bedroom ROKI Suite or the seven‑bedroom Grand ROKI Suite (which could double as a small country).

When you’re hungry, you’ve got two tricks up your sleeve. Essence serves up European‑inspired fine dining on a plate of NZ produce, courtesy of culinary whiz Paul Froggatt (Luxury Lodges Chef of the Year 2023/24). Or head to The Terrace for seafood that matches those views, and yes, the fireplaces cosy up at dinner too.

And if you’re into wellness, ROKI Pure is no ordinary spa. It’s more like a zen fortress with thermal pools, an indoor lap pool, private treatments, ice baths, a personalised sleep concierge, and even “Rewild” sensory journeys. It’s like self-care, but a million times cooler.

But the bottom line is, ROKI Collection Queenstown is that rare combo of being a luxe lodge but with boutique‑hotel energy. Suggested nightly rates start at around AU$1600, going all the way up to AU$ 29,000 for the over‑the‑top suites, so it’s expensive to stay here, but dare we say it - it’s worth it.
