Sherwood Queenstown – Community Hotel #01 Sherwood Queenstown – Community Hotel

Overlooking Lake Wakatipu and the beautiful Remarkables range, you will not miss Sherwood Hotel. Sam Chapman is one of the four friends that created this sustainable hotel. Sherwood generates its own energy from their solar power panels, and its restaurant harvests much of its fresh, seasonal produce from the garden on-site. Sherwood’s community of travelers and locals alike, gather together over good food, music and a selection of wellness programs.

Ainsley Thompson, chef, forager and busy mother of two, is the head chef of the seasonal and sustainable-focused restaurant at Sherwood Hotel. Originally from Wellington, Ainsley and her husband moved down to Queenstown to start the restaurant at Sherwood with Sam and his three friends.
