A selection of extremely spacious land packages (ranging between 1,500 – 2,600 sqm) defines this exclusive neighbourhood. The Reserve’s owners will have a choice of utilising their own property design or liaising with our team for pre-set options. Complementing the grandeur of the expansive vistas, the golf course is located on the doorstep of the new homes within The Reserve. This offers our discerning owners the beauty and ruggedness of the existing surrounds, coupled with the well-kept, manicured golf estate in the foreground. This concept defines the dominant rural landscape with its broad open spaces and rocky outcrops, as well as setting the scene for a unique golfing experience like no other. 7 Introducing The Reserve The Reserve occupies an area of 116 acres. This space allows it to retain its rugged countryside feel. The golf course will be sculpted along the lines of the river terrace and has been carefully designed to preserve the dominant effect of open spaces, trees and water features. The gentle contours of playing surfaces, pockets of wetland and mountainous backdrop, coupled with a combination of native and exotic flora, all contribute to an immaculate setting in the heartland of New Zealand’s vineyards. Seamlessly integrated into this setting are a selection of manicured land packages, comprising of a total of 31 properties. The site is traversed by hiking and cycling trails offering a variety of outdoor activities to our residential owners, as well as direct access to a selection of amenities on your doorstep.

The Reserve offers a choice of either a land package (with the flexibility of designing your own home) or a land and home package from our pre- existing design options. The natural, curated options offer you design and style, while naturally blending with the surrounding countryside. 8 Introducing The Reserve THE LOCATION The Reserve offers a beautiful blend of rugged terrain and manicured grounds, further complemented by sprawling vineyards surrounding the area.

The Resort is also conveniently located only 15 minutes away from Queenstown airport, a further 15 minutes from the centre of Queenstown itself and 50 minutes from Wanaka. This means that you are incredibly well-placed to enjoy the abundance of activities both of these internationally-recognised townships have to offer. 9 Introducing The Reserve DESIGNED BY GREG TURNER, THE 9-HOLE GOLF COURSE PROVIDES A SETTING FOR GOLFERS OF ALL LEVELS. THE GOLF COURSE The Gibbston Valley™ Golf Experience is the perfect addition to the active lifestyle that the Gibbston Valley™ Resort exemplifies, encompassing all the fun and intrigue of a full-scale golf course but without the half-day commitment usually required. By combining intricate green complexes with broad undulating fairways this course provides for all skill levels, from elite players to novices. The course occupies the river terrace above the dramatic Kawarau Gorge, weaving between characteristic rock features and the historic mine tailings from the gold rush days. Throw in babbling brooks and water features, and you have a complete spectrum of golf features to entertain and challenge. The whole experience should take less than 2 hours (unless you can’t resist another round). This is entertainment golf of the 21st century. - Greg Turner (Golf Course Designer). 10 Introducing The Reserve THE COUNTRY CLUB With community and generational living at the forefront of this development, the Gibbston Valley™ Country Club is an integral part of the offering to our residential owners and guests.

  • Lake Wakatipu Flood Hazard | QUEENSTOWN CBD the Queenstown CBD Area Has a History of Flooding
    Queenstown CBD in flood in 2005 (picture supplied by Otago Daily Times) Lake Wakatipu flood hazard | QUEENSTOWN CBD The Queenstown CBD area has a history of flooding. This is a natural process resulting from extended periods of heavy rain and snowmelt. North-westerly fronts moving over the southern part of the South Island can cause heavy rainfall in the headwaters of Lake Wakatipu, especially if they ‘stall’ and hover over the Southern Alps for days at a time. A series of such fronts is generally needed before lake levels rise enough to cause flooding. Several large rivers flow into the lake while only one (the Kawarau River) flows out. Flooding can occur when more water flows into the lake than can flow out, and when there is insufficient time for levels to drop between heavy rainfall events. The Otago Regional Council (ORC) works with the Queenstown Lakes District Council (QLDC) to provide flood warning and information services. These are intended to help people prepare for, and respond to a flood. Breaking waves and debris can cause additional damage within low-lying parts of Queenstown if strong onshore winds coincide with high lake levels. The photo at left shows booms ORC placed across Queenstown Bay during the 1999 flood to help prevent debris entering the CBD. Residents should be aware of strong winds when the lake is high. Queenstown flood hazard October 2014 Characteristics of flood events How quickly do floods occur? Every flood is different, and their severity will depend on the duration, extent, and intensity of rainfall across the entire catchment.

  • Otago Conservancy
    A Directory of Wetlands in New Zealand OTAGO CONSERVANCY Sutton Salt Lake (67) Location: 45o34'S, 170o05'E. 2.7 km from Sutton and 8 km from Middlemarch, Straith-Tari area, Otago Region, South Island. Area: 3.7 ha. Altitude: 250 m. Overview: Sutton Salt Lake is a valuable example of an inland or athalassic saline lake, with a considerable variety of saline habitats around its margin and in adjacent slightly saline boggy depressions. The lake is situated in one of the few areas in New Zealand where conditions favour saline lakes (i.e. where precipitation is lower than evaporation). An endemic aquatic animal, Ephydrella novaezealandiae, is present, and there is an interesting pattern of vegetation zonation. Physical features: Sutton Salt Lake is a natural, inland or athalassic saline lake with an average depth of 30 cm and a salinity of 15%. The lake has no known inflow or outflow. The soils are saline and alkaline at the lake margin (sodium-saturated clays), and surrounded by yellow-grey earths and dry subdygrous Matarae. The parent material is loess. Shallow boggy depressions exist near the lake, and there is a narrow fringe of salt tolerant vegetation at the lake margin. Algal communities are present, and often submerged by lake water. The average annual rainfall is about 480 mm, while annual evaporation is about 710 mm. Ecological features: Sutton Salt Lake is one of only five examples of inland saline habitats of botanical value in Central Otago. This is the only area in New Zealand which is suitable for the existence of this habitat, since in general rainfall is high, evaporation is low, and endorheic drainage systems are absent.
