About this property

Lakes Edge Apartment - Unit A

Located right on the waters edge this apartment has been designed to maximize the stunning lakeside setting. Experience the peace and quiet, yet you are close enough to enjoy the restaurants and shopping downtown.

Featuring generous open plan living and dining areas ideal for indoor / outdoor entertaining. The unit is an older style home with quirky architectural style from the 90's. This is not your newly built fancy Queenstown rental. Hopefully our pricing reflects this.

A heat pump and fireplace (with a good supply of firewood) keep the chill off in winter and the comfy lounge suite offers a haven for you to sit back and relax.

The fully fitted kitchen is complete with everything you need to self cater. Appliances include, dishwasher, gas hob, electric oven, microwave and fridge/freezer.

Approx distances:
Town - 1.5km
Airport - 5km
Arrowtown - 17km

Lower Level - Three Bedrooms, configured as King, Queen and Queen. Master bedroom en-suite, family bathroom and laundry. All linen is included.

* Don't stay here if you are not able to carry your luggage down a large set of stairs.
* We have a STEEP driveway, due to living in an alpine town. We will not be able to accomodate Mini Vans, unless you are use to steep driveways.

Great views, close to town

Positives: The views are spectacular and the balcony was a great spot to watch the sun rise and set. It is spacious and can only improve with some TLC especially the fireplace lounge covers. The bedrooms were comfortable, however it was disconcerting and noisy to have the main ensuite plumbing travel out of the wall and under the bed in room behind it. A great location for local activities and setting off on day trips. Challenges: As mentioned in the accommodation info, the driveway is steep, it is also made of uneven gravel, we are experienced drivers in a modern all wheel drive vehicle however we could not turn left onto Morries Lane because of lack of traction. The many steps from the garage to the home were partially blocked at the top by overgrown shrubs, we cut some back with kitchen scissors and on our final full day arrived back from an outing to find that these shrubs were being cut back, however we could not get access for the next 10-15 minutes.

Great views

Had a 17 night stay with the family. House was great (lots of stairs-as stated) and once you have driven down the steep driveway once, it doesn’t seem so daunting! Lovely ensuite off the main bedroom and views to die for! Kitchen well stocked with appliances, a few staples in the cupboard to use. Some dishwashing and clothes washing products provided which was great. Owners very quick to reply to questions. Found the main bed a little hard, could do with a mattress topper for comfort but overall the whole house was fantastic.

Enjoys the views and serenity..

what a great place to stay at. Yes the driveway is a bit funk( but that is clearly stated on the listing) but it had everything we wanted for our family stay. Plenty of firewood, clean, plenty of kitchen utensils, comfy and lots of space. The bedrooms were good size and comfy, but the views were fantastic. You were close to town but far enough away to relax in the peace and quiet.

Spectacular find

This was a fantastic place to stay for us. It was a bit removed from the busy centre of Queenstown but also within easy walking distance. The upstairs area provided amazing views over the lake and the bedrooms and bathrooms downstairs were all well appointed. From the backyard we had direct access to the foreshore cycleway. It was unusually hot while we stayed, but we could keep the place cool by opening everything up. Our host provided great instructions to make our stay seamless. Recommend highly!

Million Dollar View

We were a family of three that included an infant. This property was perfect for our needs, the kitchen and laundry certainly and all the comforts of home, made our lives much easier. Coming from Oz, I was worried about the cold. We needn't have worried - every room has heating and there is even underfloor heating in the ensuite and kitchen. I was excited about the novelty of using a fireplace, but the weather was actually too good to get to use it! If you were visiting in winter, you would need not worry about the cold. Yes, it is on a hill and the driveway took some getting used to - but it is worth it for the amazing view and sheltered courtyard.

Location is fantastic, and the steep driveway not a problem. Garden and views are just so lovely. To be honest The unit is VERY rustic. Some elements not as charming as others. Could do with a THOROUGH clean and a new couch. Thanks for sharing your home with us.

Great location

We loved the beautiful location overlooking the lake and the proximity to queenstown itself. The renovated bathroom with heated floor was a lovely touch as well. Unfortunately the kitchen cupboards needed a good clean out and the kitchen windows were quite dirty. We didn’t mind the steps down to the house or the steep driveway but we had a 4wd. Would definitely recommend this lovely quirky house

July 2019

The driveway is atrocious, so steep we were lucky to have leased a 4 WD. Another vehicle (a sedan) had to park up on the road as when the driveway was icy the sedan would not make it. Elderly people would not manage this driveway. From the driveway there are approx 25 steep steps to the front door. Inside the place predominantly unclean and I had to sweep the floor, wipe the benches and sweep the porch for the amount of leaves left at the front door. The couches were covered with two blankets to cover the stains on the couch. On arrival there was NO firewood and luckily Neville arrived and supplied us with scraps from a timber yard that were not suitable for a fireplace. We went over to Wanaka and collected two large bags of firewood to last us the 9 nights. The beds and bedding were comfortable the bathrooms were clean and the linen was ample. The TV was complicated and there were about 3 channels, no movie channels and feel that this could be improved. The heat pumps worked well in the mornings. Overall good money paid for under average accommodation I'm sorry to say.

Nice views BUT extremely dangerous driveway

The property has amazing views and is well appointed. We were in Queenstown for a week as part of a family holiday and this was a great base for exploring. However there were a couple of disappointing aspects of our stay. Firstly, we were not sent any information about accessing the property, making our arrival more problematic than necessary, and the owner did not return our call when we tried to make contact. But the second and more major issue was the driveway into the property. This was so steep and in disrepair that our car (a 4wd) slipped a number of times in good weather, and actually slid sideways and got stuck when there had been minimal rain. Luckily there was no damage to us or the vehicle, but we had a small baby with us and this was quite terrifying. For this reason, we were relieved to be leaving on the final day. Prior warning from the owners about this aspect of the property would have been appreciated.

Great location but property needs some attention

We knew this property was a little quirky going in and chose it because it is a great location with lovely views. However we were so disappointed with the total lack of maintenance on the property and it is a very old building. The grounds itself were so overgrown with weeds it was difficult to get down to the public walkway at the back (which incidentally was a great shortcut to downtown). The kitchen was an absolute disorganized mess with items shoved haphazardly everywhere and impossible to find anything. The ancient stovetop and kitchen counters are well overdue for replacing and something as simple as a sharp knife would have been immensely helpful. The cleanliness level was very lacking - windows could not be opened for fear of letting in all the bugs and cobwebs that covered everything. Beds were OK - had better and had worse and one bathroom was nicely updated while the second needs work. So much potential, just spend a little time and money on maintenance and cleaning products!

The View

We stayed for the view and 2 bathrooms. Yes, it needs updating, but that was clear before booking. The beds are comfortable. The hot water was great. The stove and fridge work. I personally did not think the driveway was bad, but you need good brakes. It was everything the property owner said it would be. They even stopped by to make sure we had everything we needed. I thought that was nice. I’m sure this could be a beautiful place, but then the price would go up. We enjoyed our time here and I would stay here again.
