news + happenings at fivemile.
Spring is looking somewhat wintery right now, but things are warming up at FiveMile with multiple Father’s Day deals and new businesses coming our way.
it’s all about dad!
If breakfast in bed isn’t an option (or the day starts early with a walk or bike) then why not make life easy with a free coffee for Dads with any meal off the menu ($14 or over) on Sunday September 6 at Billy’s Espresso. Start the day right, right?

golf warehouse
the golf dad
The Golf Warehouse is having a fun ‘closest to the pin’ competition in the in-store simulator on Father’s Day. Have a crack and be in to win – from 75m out if Dad gets within 5m of the pin he gets a 25% discount, on the green and its 15% off, and just for giving it a go it’s a cool 10%. Best of three shots and clubs are supplied.

free at podium!
What Dad doesn’t love a hearty steak, pan roasted salmon or succulent market fish to celebrate his day? Podium restaurant in Sudima Five Mile makes life easy for the family with Dad eating for FREE on Father’s Day with a minimum of two adults dining. Check out their fantastic range of kids’ meals too!
brandland
fivemile’s home of gifts
If there’s one FiveMile favourite with a great range of gifts across different price points, it’s Brandland. Adventurous Dad might like an SOS Headlamp (how practical!), NZ Fishing Club Socks or a Pie Society hoodie. Grooming Dad could love Two Dudes grooming range, Zorilla deodorants and colognes or premium CaliWoods Safety Razors. How about a golf club bottle opener or gentlemen’s golf kit for you-know-who, or a leather wallet or whisky stones for the classic Dad.
joe’s garage / moss spa
relax, chillax…
Tailoured treatments like deep-tissue massages at Moss Spa might be just the fix for a Dad who’s feeling a little stiff, or perhaps a soothing facial or voucher (so he can choose). Maybe the best Father’s Day gift of all might be an epic but relaxed meal at Joe’s Garage where they’re giving away Prezzie cards, Joe’s gift cards and more on Father’s Day weekend.
pet direct

Dad-Approved:
A Father's Day Gift Guide
Every dad's a bit different, so we've broken it down to four types at North Beach FiveMile - the outdoorsy dad, the sporty dad, the classic Kiwi dad, and the trendy dad. Find the one that sounds like yours and shop the brands that fit.
#1
The Outdoorsy Dad
He's happiest with a rod in his hand, a board under his arm, or a pack on his back. The Mad Hueys brings the fishing puns and cheeky graphics, Salty Crew keeps it laid-back for the ocean-obsessed, and The North Face is built for whatever the outdoors actually throws at him - hiking, camping, or otherwise.
#2
The Sporty Dad
He's up early for a run, at the gym on his lunch break, or coaching the kids' team on Saturday morning. Nike keeps him comfortable through all of it, and whether it's a new pair of trainers or a full tracksuit, Adidas ticks the box. A Hydro Flask keeps him hydrated along the way - the kind of gift that'll have any sporty dad stoked.
#3
The Classic Kiwi Dad
He's been wearing the same brands since you were a kid, and there's a reason they've stuck around this long. Reef is the jandals brand every Kiwi dad has owned at least one pair of - simple, comfortable, and built to last through summer after summer. Panna offers simple, well-made basics like tees, hoodies, and shorts with no loud branding, just quality staples that go with everything he already owns. And Oakleys are the sunnies he's probably worn the same style of for a decade - classic, good quality eyewear that never goes out of fashion.
#4
The Trendy Dad
He's the dad who somehow still knows what's cool before his kids do. Birkenstocks are his go-to, Rusty will keep him on-trend with the latest surf revival, and Huffer keeps him sharp with Kiwi streetwear that doesn't miss.
Outdoorsy, sporty, classic Kiwi, or trendy - North Beach at FiveMile Centre has got him covered either way. Pop in before Father's Day and our team can help you find a pressie he'll be stoked with.
fivemile development news
We’re incredibly excited to announce that work has started on the “best office address in Queenstown” right here at FiveMile.

Landmark office and retail building
Construction of Murchison Tower, a landmark $90 million dollar office and retail building started this week, cementing FiveMile’s position as the region’s leading commercial, retail and business destination.
On the corner of FiveMile Place and Murchison Street, it will be Queenstown’s largest office building, a 7900sq/m six-storey structure comprising retail and hospitality on the ground floor, plus five floors of premium A Grade office space above. It will make FiveMile the biggest office landlord in Queenstown with the highest density of premium office space in the region.
A-grade office space, views and car parks
Murchison Tower features unrivaled views of The Remarkables, across the airport and towards Lake Whakatipu.
A welcome amenity for the new building tenants, visitors and the wider centre will be an adjoining three-storey car park building providing 198 car parks.
Recognising and catering for ongoing growth in commercial and professional service sectors, Murchison Tower is led by demand for architecturally designed and energy-efficient A-grade offices with shared meeting spaces and quality end of trip facilities. Amongst those, sitting at the heart of an extensive biking trail network as it does, is e-bike storage with charging stations.
Tenants are also seeing value in having amenities such as food and beverage outlets, fitness and wellbeing facilities as well as a great range of retail stores on their doorstep.

Place to do business
FiveMile director Craig Greenwood says the centre’s reputation as “the place to do business” was strengthened by a very targeted and successful pre-leasing campaign which has seen many prominent local, national and international businesses commit early for this premium offering.
“Eleven years after launching FiveMile, we remain committed to raising the bar for commercial property in this region. Murchison Tower is a reflection of that commitment, with facilities that set a new benchmark in a centre where people work, shop, access essential services and enjoy spending time.”
Colliers Queenstown’s commercial director Mark Simpson says he’s “delighted” with the response to the pre-leasing campaign.
“It was a very deliberate strategy to engage with an exciting balanced mix of local, national and international professional, financial services and consulting businesses keen to complement those in the already successful Craigs Investment Partners building which opened in 2019.
“Now the project has reached its pre-leasing milestone, the next phase will be a comprehensive marketing campaign to lease the balance of the space as opportunities remain for a diverse range of occupiers, from those who are in the area already to others looking to establish a presence here,” says Mark.
Building with the best
Naylor Love Regional Manager John Seely says they’re pleased to continue their longstanding relationship with Five Mile.
“We’ve built a strong relationship founded on trust, collaboration and consistent delivery, and we’re delighted to continue that partnership on Murchison Tower,” he says.
“We’re bringing our Central Otago experience and disciplined approach to deliver the project safely, on programme, and within budget.”
Murchison Tower and the adjoining car park are scheduled for completion by November 2027. Further details are available at www.murchisontower.co.nz.

We’ll keep you posted with all the exciting updates as the build progresses in the coming months!
Born in Fiji, Vikrant is very much a Queenstown local, having lived here since he was six. And after having “always been in hospo”, he’s now a year into his role as Food and Beverage Manager at Sudima Queenstown Five Mile. “I originally wanted to work in IT but I’d always enjoyed watching my Mum cook at home, so I got my first hospitality job at 16 and decided that was the way to go.”
Joining Sudima in 2022 as Head Chef, he loves how the company is built around their values. “They’ve helped me grow so much and now having learned about the operational side of the hotel they’ve expanded my world past the restaurant doors”.
“I now know where we source our local beer, am helping to cut down our carbon footprint and work on ensuring our supplies are as local as can be.”

Favourite dish?
“My Mum’s tomato and eggplant chutney with a nice lamb curry. You can’t go wrong.”
Love FiveMile?
It’s so cool, everyone knows each other so well. Tenants and business owners are like extended family, and I love building new relationships. Queenstown Barbers give the best haircut.”
Family life?
“Misaki and I have been together nearly four years and we adore our nine-month-old baby Mirei, who’s half Japanese, half Fijian. I can’t wait for her to be older so I can take her fishing!”
