Discover Mt Nicholas Lodge

A genuine homestead accommodation experience at the heart of a New Zealand high country station on the shores of Lake Wakatipu.

Mount Nicholas Station - a New Zealand family owned, fully operational High Country Sheep Station - lies at the foot of the Southern Alps, Fiordland National Park to the west and the spectacular, clear waters of Lake Wakatipu immediately below the lodge to the east. Nestled within this breath-taking panorama is Mt. Nicholas Lodge - a destination which offers a unique and memorable experience of the New Zealand high country.

At over 100,000 acres, Mt. Nicholas is the largest station on the lake. The 27,000 merino sheep produce some of the world's finest quality wool fibre, the majority of which is used in the production of the iconic “Icebreaker” range of high quality, natural fibre garments.

Several hundred Red Deer, Fallow Deer, Chamois and Himalayan Tahr can also be found on the slopes of Mt. Nicholas, providing an extraordinary environment for the photographer or hunter. And with the Von River running across the station, this is a world famous trout fishing destination - rainbow and brown trout are abundant in both the lake and rivers.

Whether you're looking for a secluded private destination in which to relax, or are keen to actively experience the New Zealand outdoors - tramping, hunting, or fishing - Mt. Nicholas Station and Lodge provide an unparalled environment and experience. You won't want to leave.
