Kinloch Wilderness Retreat

We offer a relaxed space for you to enjoy stunning wilderness, which many people miss on their travels as the road ends 12kms down from us (you can drive to us). There are mountains everywhere you look and we're right by Lake Whakatipu. We have lots of seasonal staff and casuals for you to buddy up and adventure with in the summer, winter is our quiet time, and plenty of down time for you.

We're a busy family with many businesses to run. Where we can find time to socialise with staff we do so, however you are part of a business rather than a family home. We do expect a certain standard of work for your 15hrs a week, then the rest of the day is for you to explore or relax.

I had a great experience helping out at Kinloch Wilderness Retreat. During my month-long stay, I helped with a mix of housekeeping, maintenance, painting, and moving jobs around the property. The work was varied and straightforward, and I enjoyed contributing to such a beautiful place.

The team was welcoming and easy to work with, and the location itself is incredible—right on the edge of the lake with stunning views and access to great walks nearby. I appreciated the chance to learn new skills while also having time to explore the area during my time off. Thanks for having me!

What a place... So grateful I got to spend some time at Kinloch, waking up with the most stunning view every day. The mountains, the lake, the moon and the stars. It was magical ✨ Thanks to my roomies and of course our house cat Taka for making it an unforgettable stay 🩵
