Mount Earnslaw Hotel

Mount Earnslaw Hotel , Glenorchy, Lake Wakatipu. This well-known and extensively patronised hotel is situated at the head of Lake Wakatipu. Tourists visiting Queenstown cannot fully realise the beauty and grandeur of the lake scenery without visiting Glenorchy. The view from the balcony of the hotel includes such mountain giants as Mounts Earnslaw and Bonpland, Kosmos Peak and Forbes Peaks, whose snow-clad slopes and summits rise against the clear sky in silent grandeur, and fill the beholder with awe, reverence, and delight. Special arrangements can be made for rowing parties on the lake, or excursions to Paradise Valley, and the rivers Rees and Dart, as well as to Lake Harris and the West Coast Sounds.
