New Zealand’s South Island is the ultimate outdoor playground. It’s an area rich in beauty and jaw-dropping landscapes, with scenery that ranges from lush forests to sparkling lakes and monumental fjords. The opportunity for adventure is limitless, and there are few properties more geared towards actively exploring the region than Minaret Station.

Shrouded by mountains in a stunning glacial valley, Minaret Station has just four luxury tented chalets, each of which have their own unique alpine views. Every chalet features a comfortable king-sized bed, en-suite bathroom, sheepskin carpets and its own private deck and hot tub – the perfect spot to relax beneath the stars.

The team at Minaret Station are passionate about delivering memorable experiences, and are particularly known for their exciting range of Heli-adventures. With experienced guides and access to a fleet of modern, powerful helicopters, guests get to experience otherwise inaccessible corners of the Southern Alps with scenic flights, heli-skiing and more.
