Remarkables Station is a 1,222-hectare property nestled between the mountains and Lake Whakatipu. It is currently leased as a working farm for deer, cattle, and sheep. The station was owned by the Jardine family for almost a century until 2022, when Dick and Jillian Jardine gifted the property to the QEII National Trust to protect it in perpetuity. Ownership was transferred to Remarkables Station National Trust Ltd, a subsidiary of QEII.
In 2023, Queenstown Airport and Remarkables Station National Trust Ltd entered into a memorandum of understanding, driven by a shared desire to protect and restore this spectacular landholding.
