About this property

Highview Retreat - Huge holiday house - Best value in town!

Huge holiday home! 2 lounges, 2 kitchen- dining areas, 7 Bedrooms, 6.5 Bathrooms

Highview Retreat is a large, modern, well-appointed apartment style holiday home with million dollar views over Lake Wakatipu to the Remarkable mountain range.

Perfect for celebrations with family and friends, like an anniversary or special birthday with lots of room for everyone, and a gorgeous backdrop for photographs. Relax in our 5 person spa overlooking the lake and mountains after a day out hiking, skiing, biking or shopping!

There is an open fire in the main living area and television with Freeview, DVD player, and Chromecast. This living room has floor to ceiling windows and a view over the pond and creek beside the house as well as views over the lake and toward the Remarkable Mountains. There is access to the balcony, which has a BBQ, and an outdoor table and chairs. The sun pours into the kitchen-dining and the living area in the morning. The balcony is a fabulous sunny spot for breakfast. There is second living area on a lower level which also has Freeview TV with Chromecast, and an electric fire. There are two fully fitted kitchen-dining areas with large dining tables. (perfect for two families holidaying together).

There are 5 king bedrooms with ensuites. A queen room has an adjoining bathroom, and a twin bedroom shares an adjacent toilet. Two of the king rooms also have a bath set into the window with a stunning view over the lake.

The bedrooms enjoy the spectacular views over the lake to the Remarkables. Your morning cuppa in bed will never be the same without that view! Watch the planes on their approach into the airport. They are almost at eye-level!

Enjoy quality linens, and just tidy the house on check out - no need to clean!

Queenstown
The stay was fantastic, the accommodation was spot on and the location was great. The only negative was three of the beds had broken slates which we had to fix as you could not sleep on these beds.

Highview in Queenstown
Our 3 day stay in Queenstown was excellent. Nine adults and six children, 6 years to 5 months all well accommodated in Highview. Matt and Haliuna were great hosts.

Pretty as a picture
Stunning views over the lake and a warm and crackling fireplace make this the perfect place to relax with family or friends after a long day. The hot tub helps to sooth aching muscles after a day on the slopes. Plenty of space for everyone to be alone or come together. Quick ride or leisurely stroll into town. Had a lovely week!

Amazing!!
Such a beautiful house! We stayed at Highview with our large family and it was truly stunning. Great location, close to the city. The house is huge and very clean, just perfect for us! We had 9 adults and 4 children so the 4 x Seperate lounge and dining areas were so convenient, the bedrooms with amazing views. We would love to stay again! Thank you for having us.

Family reunion
This overall was an awesome house for our group of 14. Plenty of space to spread out. Bedrooms are big and very comfy. We thoroughly enjoyed Queenstown and all it has to offer. Went our separate ways during the day to experience fun tijes and got together over meals at night. Being able to cook essily kept prices down a lityle. We only used one kitchen to save on cleaning. Would recommend again.
