About
Rothbury Insurance Brokers Southern Lakes brings specialist insurance expertise to one of New Zealand's most dynamic and high-risk regions. Operating out of Frankton, the team works across the full Southern Lakes area — from Jacks Point and Kelvin Heights to Arrowtown and Glenorchy — advising individuals, families, and businesses on cover that actually fits the realities of life here. That means understanding everything from holiday home exposure on the shores of Lake Wakatipu to commercial liability for adventure tourism operators running trips down the Shotover River or into Skippers Canyon. This isn't a call-centre operation; it's a brokerage with genuine local context.
With a 4.9-star rating from 42 reviews, the Southern Lakes office has clearly built strong trust with its client base. Insurance brokers differ from direct insurers in a meaningful way — they work for you, not the insurer, shopping the market to find appropriate cover and advocating on your behalf when claims arise. For property owners, business operators, or anyone whose assets are tied to this fast-moving corner of the South Island, having a broker who understands local conditions and risks is a practical advantage. Reach them through their website or visit the Hawthorne Drive office in Frankton to talk through your situation.
