Alpine serenity at our Casino Hotel on Lake Wakatipu

A five-star boutique retreat in Queenstown — schist stone, native rimu timber and a casino-inspired lounge with table games for our house guests. No online gaming, no real-money wagers. Just unhurried, face-to-face hospitality.

Welcoming guests since 2015

A quiet luxury retreat above Lake Wakatipu

Optionmomentumhub was born from a simple idea — that the finest hospitality is unhurried and personal. Eleven years on, our eleven-room boutique hotel still welcomes every guest by name, beside a schist fireplace that never goes cold.

Our casino-inspired lounge carries the atmosphere of an old alpine gaming room — green felt table games, brass fittings, soft lamplight — yet nothing here is played for money online. The lounge is a social space for our house guests, hosted in person, every evening in Casino Hotel.

The Lounge

A casino salon — played in person, never online

Each evening our lounge opens for house guests: green felt table games, brass-trimmed cards, a single malt on the cart. It is the atmosphere of a private gaming room, offered as social entertainment only.

  • Open nightly 17:00–00:00 for resident guests only
  • Hosted table games by our lounge team — face-to-face, at the table
  • No real-money gambling and no online gaming, ever
  • Private card evenings and tasting games on request

Guest Voices

Quiet praise from our guests

★★★★★
The casino lounge felt like stepping into a 1920s alpine club — cards, a single malt, no screens anywhere. Exactly the offline break we wanted.

★★★★★
Schist walls, rimu timber, a fire that never went out. The spa ritual with mānuka was the best massage I have had in years.
James Whitford Sydney, AU
★★★★★
Eleven rooms means it never feels crowded. The concierge arranged a heli-hike over The Remarkables before breakfast. Unforgettable.
