A rare and elegant presence on the Otago lakes, it is regarded as a treasure by locals.įurthermore, the Kāmana Lakehouse website features personal stories from interesting and pioneering locals designed to inspire visitors with Queenstown’s adventurous spirit, something a photo gallery of images alone cannot convey. The Australasian Crested Grebe or Kāmana is a diving bird native to New Zealand’s southern lakes region including Queenstown. The interior design, brand positioning and restaurant are all inspired by the Kāmana bird and its natural habitat. Seductive lighting, highly tactile furnishings, a customised spiral staircase, real trees are all great design elements coming together to bridge the European mountain lodge look with contemporary Kiwi-inspired natural décor.
