Exciting Queenstown

ChristopherRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Probably our favourite Airbnb ever. It ticks all the boxes. It has a perfect location: outside the town but walkable to town in about 25 minutes on the lakeside Queenstown Track, and it’s on the slope below the main road into town, so you don’t see or hear the traffic. It has a gorgeous view of the lake and mountains that you could look at for hours. It has comfortable beds. It has a fully equipped kitchen, with helpful labels on the cupboards and drawers so you’re not constantly trying to remember where things are. It’s easy to get in, with access by code so you don’t have to worry about keys or cards. It has convenient parking. It has good bikes that you can take out - we rode to the Kelvin Peninsula on the other side of the bay. There’s lots of room to spread out. The host’s representative replied right away when we had questions. It’s not cheap but it is so worth it.

21 Lakefront

AndrewRating, 5 stars6 months ago
All 4 of us were beyond blown away by this place. Fitted our needs and then some. Actually spent more time cooking and dining at home than expected because of the kitchen, bbq and incredible views of the lake. The only negative we could come up with was that we weren’t able to overstay our welcome and squat here forever. It was the consensus that we will book this apartment should we return to NZ next year.

David was extremely responsive and very helpful for the few times I had to reach out. This is an unbelievable place. The view was extraordinary with access to the walking path into town. Location and view are exceptional. We absolutely loved this place. Maybe the best Airbnb ever.

Queenstown Lakefront Dream | Hot Tub | BBQ |

NathanRating, 5 stars5 months ago
Travelling with family of 6 plus grandparents. Was a great stay and 5-10 mins from airport and 5-10mins from town depending on traffic. The layout was good for us as we could stay upstairs while the grandparents had the self contained unit downstairs. The main living room was great and had a big window that captured the views amazingly. The outside had a nice little outside space with table and chairs and great on the couple of sunny days. The hottub was good on our ski days and overlooked the water which was nice. The property was clean and functional and had the basics. The bedrooms were on the smaller side but was fine for that style and time of building. One thing to keep in mind is that the driveway is a little harder to get down coming from the south if you have a long wheel base. This is due to the orientation of the hairpin corner. It sometimes hard to get out from during busy times if heading south as you cannot clearly see around the corner and can be dangerous.

Lakefront Luxury - Amazing Views

SueRating, 5 stars4 days ago
This property is exceptional. From the moment you walk through the front door, you realise you are in a home of excellence. The property has everything you need, is tastefully decorated, and the welcome pack of wine, nibbles and pastries was a nice touch. The main draw card was the view of Lake Wakatipu - just beautiful, and with the Remarkables off to one side, it just adds to the experience. I cannot recommend this property highly enough. You will not be disappointed.

The Lake House

ShaniRating, 5 stars3 months ago
Nicola’s place was a beautiful space. We had a big group from all corners of the world for a destination wedding. It was a great space with a magnificent view. Convenient for a cheeky dip to wake up just 20s walk down a pathway Beautiful 1 hour walk along the Queenstown track through the gardens into town. 10/10 experience and can’t rave enough about this place

ChrisRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Beautiful scenery from the lounge room.. ! Well presented unit close to airport. We absolutely enjoyed just watching the sunrises and sunsets over the Remarkables and lake from the very comfortable recliners. Jimmy was quick to respond to any questions and we would love to re visit.

Lakeview Haven

TashRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Nice bathroom. Loved the hot tub. Nice location by the lake - about a 10 minute drive from town. Just something to note if you are staying in Summer this place doesn't have air-conditioning. We were out all day exploring and by the time we got home the breeze had cooled the place down but if you were planning to hang at the apartment in the afternoon it gets quite hot.
