One of central Queenstown`s best positions - 100 metres from the lake, ten minutes to town. Rooftop terrace with a hot tub and infrared sauna. Inside - a fireplace and wide views from the Remarkables to the Skyline Gondola.
This freshly renovated penthouse is finished to the standard the position deserves - whether you are here to unwind, work remotely, or mark a special occasion. Floor-to-ceiling windows, secure parking below the building - your proper Queenstown base.
THE SPACE AT A GLANCE • Two bedrooms - queen ensuite, second bedroom twin or king split • Two bathrooms - one ensuite, one shared • Private rooftop terrace - hot tub, infrared sauna, and clear night skies • Gas fireplace and floor-to-ceiling lake views • Freshly renovated throughout with quality finishes • Secure underground parking included • TV in each bedroom • Sleeps 4 (Additional sofa bed available in living area)
The living room is the main event - the gas fireplace sits at the centre of the room so you get the warmth and the lake at the same time. Watch the jet boats and water taxis carving across the lake from the sofa. The kind of space where no one is in a hurry to move. Despite being ten minutes from the centre of town, the apartment feels a long way from it - quiet, elevated, and genuinely private.
A large stone island anchors the kitchen - leather bar stools and pendant lights above. On a clear day, watch the paragliders drifting off the Skyline Gondola from the kitchen window. Gas cooktop, oven, Nespresso machine, dual air fryer, dishwasher, and a full-size fridge. The island works just as well for a morning of remote work as it does for an evening meal.
The master bedroom opens directly to the main deck - lake view from the pillow, morning light across the Queenstown Golf Course, and Cecil Peak lit gold as the evening draws in. The ensuite is tiled throughout - rain shower, heated towel rail, backlit round mirror, and a window that frames the lake while you shower.
The second bedroom is set up as twin singles - configurable as a king split on request. Same headboard, same linen, same standard. Shared bathroom access and a TV. Flexibility for groups, families, or couples.
THE OUTSIDE Outdoor dining, a Weber BBQ, hot tub, and infrared sauna - all with an unobstructed view across Lake Wakatipu to the Remarkables. Elevated and surprisingly private for a property this close to town. The sauna fits two. On a clear night, dark enough to sit in the hot tub and watch the stars.
