A lightly populated settlement in one of the most spectacular landscapes in the world, set on the shores of Lake Whakatipu at the foot of the Remarkables mountain range.

Signature Experience at Drift Bay
“Just Be” and “Little Fiji”
Experience the deep connection to the land at the amazingly private Drift Bay private villa. On arrival, you’ll feel embraced by this serene oasis surrounded by lake and mountains.
It’s a place to reconnect with nature, and forget about the world for a while. There are plenty of special spots, both indoors and out, to stop, soak in the views - and “just be”.
If you can tear yourself away from the property, enjoy a tour of this special, quiet arm of the lake, by boat. Be collected from Drift Bay’s private jetty and explore our favourite spot, colloquially known as “Little Fiji”. Let our local hosts share the secrets of the region with you. And…if you’re into fishing, they will even share their favourite spots.
