Millbrook Resort is a luxury resort near Queenstown, New Zealand. It is located 4 kilometres to the west of the historic gold-mining town of Arrowtown. The resort covers two hundred hectares of the Wakatipu Basin - a glacial valley bordered by the Crown Range, the Remarkables and Lake Wakatipu.
The resort includes three restaurants, a bar/cafe, a spa and 18-hole golf course.
Millbrook is privately owned by a the Ishii family, though individual residences within the resort are owned by a diverse group of investors, largely from New Zealand but also from Australia and around the world.
Millbrook's 18-hole golf course was originally designed by Sir Bob Charles has been significantly upgraded, with additions including a stunning new nine holes by former Pro Greg Turner and Scott McPherson of Turner/McPherson. The new Coronet Nine gives players the choice of playing any two of the three nines at one time.
Millbrook opened a covered driving range on Labour Weekend 2009. Formerly a high-country woolshed, the layout of the driving range building is a very close copy of the interior of the original shed. The five catching pens and wool room are now the hitting bays, while the ‘board’ where the sheep were shorn is the access corridor. Two attached ‘huts’ have been added to house ball dispensing and washing operations, and a coaching clinic classroom for Millbrook’s new golf academy.
The Spa at Millbrook has over 10 treatment rooms including a bespoke manicure/pedicure room, vichy shower, steam room, couples treatment rooms and a hair salon.
Millbrook has 3 onsite restaurants, The Millhouse, The Hole-in-One Cafe & Bar and Sala Sala Japanese Restaurant.
