25 Years of Kinloch – Let’s Celebrate!
John & Toni Glover are throwing a party — and you're invited.
From a truck, a dream, and a whole lot of heart back in 2000 to the Kinloch Wilderness Retreat we know today, it's time to mark this milestone in proper Kinloch style: food, music, lakeside views, and good company.
Join us for a full weekend of memories, connection, and celebration — everyone with a connection to Kinloch is welcome: former staff, loyal guests, locals, neighbours, adventurers, and friends from far and wide.
🎊 Weekend Highlights
FRIDAY 3 OCTOBER
🍛 Curry Night + Jam Session | $35 pp
Casual vibes, great food, and live tunes in the restaurant. Bring an instrument, or just your best stories.
SATURDAY 4 OCTOBER
☀️ Morning café & spa time
🍽️ The Big Night! | $150 pp
✨ Welcome drink, canapés, family-style dinner, dessert, late-night supper
🎶 Live music + memory-making
🧖 Access to Yurt Chill Zone + Wai Spa & Sauna all weekend
👗 Dress code: black tie + flat shoes (fancy but practical, just like us)
Note: Guests staying Saturday must book a ticket for the dinner.
🛏️ Stay with Us
Accommodation at standard rates (with all profits above cost donated to the Wakatipu High School Foundation). Limited rooms — first in, best dressed!
🎟️ Coming Just for the Event?
No problem — you can still book your seat at the table.
💙 Why It Matters
This celebration is also a fundraiser. Your bookings help support the Wakatipu High School Foundation, empowering local youth with educational and leadership opportunities.
📸 Throwback Fans Unite
We’ll be sharing old photos, memories, and laughs — and we’d love yours too. Tag @KinlochLodge or email us on [email protected] your favourite flashbacks to feature on the night!
