Jack's Point is a luxury estate in Central Otago, New Zealand, covering 1,200 hectares of land. It is located 6 km south of Queenstown, at the foot of The Remarkables and close to the edge of Lake Wakatipu. It is known for its golf course. It is rated among the top 10 lifestyle estates in the world.[3][4]

The settlement is a new development, planned to eventually consist of some 1300 houses and looking to serve a population of 7,000. It takes its name from "Maori Jack" Tewa, a local 19th century personality.[5]
