There are certain destinations that stay with you long after you leave — where you feel less restless and more connected than when you arrive. Perched quietly on the shores of Lake Wakatipu, Waimarino Lodge is one of those rare places.
Here, the pace slows, the noise settles, and the horizon stretches wide enough to invite perspective. Under the vast southern skies, companies are choosing to gather not around boardroom tables, but firepits, with alpine ridgelines and the calm lake in view.
For forward-thinking organisations, this isn’t just an alluring benefit for staff, but a way to elevate the output of an entire business. At Waimarino, it’s not about performance metrics or quarterly outcomes. It’s about presence. Reconnection. The kind of grounding that lets people return to their roles not only refreshed, but reengaged — with clarity, purpose, and heart.
Waimarino is now offering a limited number of corporate memberships to a small circle of value-aligned companies — organisations who recognise that their greatest asset isn’t their portfolio, but their people. Whether it’s time set aside for senior leaders to reset, a reward for outstanding performance, or a space to deepen client relationships, Waimarino creates the kind of moments that shift the dial.
Days here unfold with intention: heli-hiking over untouched peaks, sharing stories under a canopy of stars, quiet hours on the lake where ideas surface with ease. The experience is curated, but never contrived — rooted in the rhythms of the landscape and the luxury of time well spent.
As a gesture of appreciation, the first five companies to join will receive five additional nights to share among their teams — a chance to say thank you to someone who’s gone above and beyond, as the setting for a strategic retreat, or to simply offer space when it’s most needed.
For individuals, a limited number of villa memberships remain — granting private access to Waimarino throughout the year. It’s an invitation to make this extraordinary place your own retreat, whether for quiet escapes, time with loved ones, or shared moments with friends.
At Waimarino, the investment is clear. Not in assets or transactions — but in people. And in the quiet power of place to bring out their very best.
