Kinloch is located on the South Island of New Zealand at the head of Lake Wakatipu, 45 kilometres due north of Queenstown. Kinloch is surrounded by mountains in every direction: The Humbolt range to the west, and the Richardson range to the east, the stunning view up the Dart River to the north, adjacent to solitary Mt. Alfred. Kinloch Lodge sits on the lake front and is directly across from Glenorchy. Mt. Aspiring National Park begins close by just before the start of the Routeburn track and the start/finish of the Greenstone/ Caples tracks is just 12 km down the road.
