Remarkables Retreat 10 Lake Views & Balcony
Summary:
Enjoy beautiful Lake Wakatipu and mountain views from this spacious three-bedroom Queenstown retreat. Set across three levels, the home features open-plan living, a private balcony, two newly renovated bathrooms, a dedicated renovated laundry, an electric fireplace and internal-access garage. Sleeping up to six guests, it’s a comfortable base between Queenstown and Frankton, with easy access to the lakeside walking and cycling trail
The Space:
Set high above the shores of Lake Wakatipu, Remarkables Retreat 10 is a spacious three-bedroom holiday home capturing beautiful lake and mountain views from its elevated Frankton Road position.
Spread across three levels, the home offers plenty of room for families, couples or small groups, with open-plan living, a private balcony reinstated in 2025, two newly renovated bathrooms, a renovated dedicated laundry, electric fireplace and flexible bedding for up to six guests. Best of all, all three bedrooms enjoy lake and mountain views, so the outlook isn’t limited to the main living spaces.
MAIN LIVING LEVEL
Enter on the upper level into the open-plan kitchen, dining and living area — the heart of the home and a wonderful place to take in the surrounding scenery.
Large windows fill the space with natural light and frame gorgeous views across Lake Wakatipu to the surrounding mountains. The comfortable lounge features a striking stone feature wall with an electric fireplace, creating a cosy place to relax after a day exploring Queenstown or skiing the nearby mountains.
The dining area opens through bifold doors onto the private balcony, reinstated in 2025. Enjoy your morning coffee outside, settle in with a glass of wine at the end of the day, or simply take in the ever-changing lake and mountain views.
The adjoining kitchen is fully equipped for self-catering, whether you’re preparing breakfast before heading out for the day or enjoying a relaxed dinner at home.
MIDDLE LEVEL
Stairs lead down to the middle level, providing a comfortable and private sleeping zone with two bedrooms, both enjoying lake and mountain views, along with the home's two newly renovated bathrooms.
The contemporary bathrooms feature stylish tiled finishes, walk-in showers and modern vanities, giving this level a fresh and modern feel.
Also on this level is the newly renovated dedicated laundry, complete with a laundry tub, washing machine, dryer, generous bench space and storage. It’s a particularly useful addition for families, longer stays and winter holidays when there is plenty of ski gear and clothing to keep organised.
LOWER LEVEL
Continue downstairs to the third bedroom and internal-access garage.
The third bedroom also enjoys lake and mountain views and offers flexible bedding. It can be configured as two Single beds or one King bed on request, making the home adaptable for families, children, couples or groups of adults travelling together.
The garage provides secure parking for one small to medium-sized vehicle and convenient internal access to the home, along with useful space for luggage or ski gear.
After a day exploring Queenstown, skiing, biking or walking the nearby lakeside trail, return home, switch on the fireplace and settle into the comfortable living area while enjoying the alpine outlook..

Thank you so much Jenny!
What a wonderful review, much appreciated

Plenty of space for our family and a beautiful view over the lake. Excellent location for a quick escape to the airport or roads north, a little tricky to get in and out of the property but not a big deal.

We thoroughly enjoyed our 7 nights in this house. Split over 3 levels, it had plenty of room for our family of 5. The kitchen was reasonably well equipped for cooking at home, and while the house is located half way between Queenstown and Frankton., it was easy enough to get the bus, walk (1hr), Uber (NZ25) or drive into/out of Queenstown. The place has amazing views and we really enjoyed the beautiful sunrises and sunsets.

Property has stunning views of Lake Wakatipu. Convenient location. Property was great - spacious, clean, comfortable. Check in and out were easy. Property Management was available however we did not need to contact during our stay as there were no issues. Everything was well maintained. Enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend this location and property. Thank you!!

Nothing beats the 'Remarkable' view that opens up as you enter the top floor of this unit. Very relaxing to sit on the balcony and watch life on the lake and enjoy the serenity of the area. Very clean and well presented despite the very basic furnishings and kitchen inclusions - some updating required, especially on the damaged lounges and weathered outdoor furniture. Our family LOVED our stay at Remarkables Retreat 10, especially the amazing lake and mountain views.
Group of 4 adults - 1 married couple & 2 other friends travelling mainly for mountain biking. The location of the property was perfect - nearly halfway between the better shopping of Frankton and the tourist centre of Queenstown. A BBQ would have made this even better. And a little weird that the master bedroom didn’t have the king size bed. Also we found some broken glass in the dishes. But overall I would recommend this place to stay with a gorgeous view of the lake and the Remarkables.

Thanks Leah,
Appreciate your feedback, so glad you enjoyed your stay with us and were able to get out mountain biking. Sorry about the glass will pass this onto my team to be more vigilant.

Tight access to parking was only issue not stated when looking at property online but not the end of the world. The house and layout were great. Took an hour to walk into town. Would like a coffee/cafe a bit closer to walk to each morning. Saying that in and out of town in 10 minutes in the car was easy. Off main road so no traffic noise. Best noise I heard in the morning were the cows on the other side of the lake. Recommend property to anyone.

Appreciate this review of Remarkables Retreat 10. Our listing does highlight some notes about vehicles and accessing the property. Also to note that there is a cafe and wine bar at the Marina which is just a short 30 minute walk along the lake.
Views were beautiful. Furniture was poor quality and standard. Lounge chairs torn. Main beds uncomfortable. Maybe need to attend to maintenance (light globes out, entrance overgrown etc )

Absolute stunning views and location. Nice clean rooms. Electric blanket in bottom room single bed didn’t work. Garage and front entry dirty with leaves. Rubbish disposal wasn’t easy considering we stayed for 9days. Handyman came to do some work and left the dryer there the whole stay.. Friends stayed up the road and had a lot more interaction with their property manager,eg he checked in on them numerous times to make sure everything was up to par. Wine and chocolates on arrival. Messaged them on things to see and do in the local area. Overall ours is in a gorgeous location, clean and served its purpose.

Thanks for your review, Sophie!
We were pleased to hear that overall, you enjoyed your stay at Remarkables Retreat 10. Your comments on the rubbish disposal and the few other areas have been noted, we will certainly investigate ways to make things smoother for longer stays.
Our sincere apologies about the blower being left, this should not have happened. We strive to offer a comfortable stay for all our guests, your feedback helps us see where we can improve.
We hope we get the chance to host you again in the future!
Warm Regards, Goodstays
Stunning views, clean & well appointed, challenging parking
The property worked well for our family made up of three couples. It was nice to have a place to lounge, a decent kitchen, washer & electric dryer, and a balcony with a beautiful view of the lake. As others have noted, figuring out the first time around how to turn in, and how to park is challenging. The garage is definitely for a small sedan car. But the space just outside the garage handled our minivan well, and it was good to be able to park 2 cars. The space worked well for driving further into Queenstown City Center for tourist activities, and access to the airport for flights, etc. There is a bus stop right above the unit on the Frankton Road, but we never used it. I took full advantage of the jacuzi in the master bathroom as I had a pulled muscle. That was a definite plus as well. Everything worked and space was well laid out for privacy as well as gathering. It is a 3-story dwelling, so anyone using the space needs to be capable of climbing stairs. We had good & responsive communication with the manager, from beginning to end which was helpful. Overall a great experience.

Hi Elizabeth,
Thanks so much for your lovely review! We're glad Remarkables Retreat 10, worked well for your group and that you enjoyed that spectacular view!
Appreciate the note about parking—it can be a little tricky at first, but great to hear both cars fit in the end.
It was a pleasure hosting you, we'd love to have you back next time you're in Queenstown!
Warm Regards
Goodstays
This was everything we had hoped it would be. Awesome views, handy location, nice spacious house, with enough comfortable seating for everyone (something I've found is not always the case). They had everything you needed and made the whole experience really easy, so a big thank you to everyone involved. The only thing I would point out to people is the steep drive to where you have to park - not for the faint hearted, but then it is Queenstown!
We didn't want to leave :)
