Framed by rugged mountains and

set across 500 acres of beautiful

Central Otago countryside, Millbrook

Resort is made for romance.

With a unique landscape of green fairways, gentle streams, rolling hills, and the rustic remains of old stone barns, horse drawn carts and wagon wheels spread across the grounds from days gone by, it is a backdrop that cannot be recreated. Just a 20 minute drive from Queenstown, and two minutes from historic Arrowtown, Millbrook Resort is conveniently close to everything, yet feels like a world away.

GETTING HERE

We offer a complimentary shuttle service to and from Queenstown and Arrowtown for guests. Bookings required. Group and airport transfers can be arranged and must be booked at least 48 hours in advance. Price will vary depending on group size.

BY AIRQueenstown International Airport has direct, daily domestic and international Australian flights with Air New Zealand, Qantas and Jetstar. Daily domestic connections from New Zealand’s main centres: Auckland (90 minutes), Wellington (90 minutes) and Christchurch (50 minutes). Queenstown Airport is located 15kms away, approximately 20 minutes drive from Millbrook Resort.

BY ROADAccess by road is a wonderfully scenic option. Queenstown is located approximately 6hrs drive from Christchurch, 3.5hrs drive from Dunedin, 2.5hrs from Invercargill and 4–6hrs from the West Coast.
