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.

Queenstown Airport is located 15kms away, approximately 20 minutes drive from Millbrook Resort.

Our guests were very impressed with the table
service and the quality of the meals. Many
commented the food was one of the best
wedding dinners they have had. The staff had
impeccable timing and ensured our reception
ran smoothly. Guests never had to wait for
a drink, and at the end of the night the staff
were there to pack down efficiently. We would

"As I prepared for our wedding
at Millbrook Resort, many people told me
that it was a certainty something would go
wrong on the day and that perfection was
impossible. However, with the help from
Millbrook’s amazing staff, I can honestly say
that the day was 100% perfect. While I had
