About this property

Big House, Bigger Views

  • Summary

    This is a classic Kiwi holiday home — spacious, comfortable, and perfect for slowing down together. Enjoy sweeping views of Lake Wakatipu and the surrounding mountains, with mornings spent over a cuppa and evenings watching the light fade over the lake.



    Just a relaxed 20-minute walk to town, it’s close to everything yet still feels like a true family getaway.

    Getting Around

    Distance from nearest supermarket: FreshChoice Queenstown, 64 Gorge Road — 2.0 km

    Distance from Queenstown Airport: 6.3 km

    Distance from Queenstown Town Centre: 1.6 km

    Distance from The Remarkables: 22.5 km

    Other Things to Note / Good to Know

    Stairs: internal and external: External stairs from driveway; internal staircase to second level

    Water: Runs on a hot water cylinder (2 tanks here each 180L) with a set amount, so larger groups should space out showers. If the hot water runs out, please allow 3–4 hours for the tank to reheat

    Power: Running too many appliances at once may trip the power

    Fire alarm: Sensitive, so please take care when cooking and have the extraction fan turned on

    Extra linen and a mid-stay clean are available for a fee.

    Baby Bundle (portacot, high chair, baby bath) is available on request for NZD $50.



    Please make all requests at least 3 days before arrival — later requests incur an additional NZD $10 call-out fee.



    The first round of amenities is complimentary. If you're staying more than 5 days, we'd recommend picking up extra during your stay.
