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

Apartment Layout:
Ground Level - Entrance, open plan living with 50" Flat Screen TV and dining area, fully fitted kitchen and balcony access.
Lower Level - Three Bedrooms, configured as King, Queen and Queen. Master bedroom en-suite, family bathroom and laundry. All linen is included.

Please note: Due to the alpine setting of Queenstown this unit is located on the hill side and has a short steep driveway to the garages and stairway access to the unit's front door.

* 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.

Extras: Cleaning (Required, NZ$90.00 per stay); Linen (included);

If a Government Covid19 Lockdown occurs and it affects your stay. Please contact us and we can arrange a full refund for any nights not required or unused.

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.

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.

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.

View 5, House not so much
As stated the home is built into a hill so the driveway is quite steep and there are about 40 steps down to the home with three landings along the way and motion lighting for at night. There is a path from the back of the home that takes you lakeside to town and it’s an easy walk. The home is older, as stated, and has character but it has been sadly neglected. In its prime, with the incredible view it has, I’m sure it was a great home. In its current state, while the view is still incredible, the home is not. When I contacted the owners about a window that couldn’t be closed and five yellow jacket bees got in the home, they told me the house was going to undergo a big overhaul in May. If a major renovation does happen, especially the flooring, some doors and window treatments, then this should be a decent stay. As it is it was not, which is a shame for such a view property.

The home is clean, comfy beds and welcoming. Great hosts, easy check in and on hand if you need anything. Easy walk by the lake into town or a longer walk the other way to the boatshed Cafe. Perfect for family or group stay.

Funky, slightly older home with excellent views
We enjoyed our stay at this funky retro home. Big spacious lay out overlooking the lake. We used the kayak and the walking path along the river. We got used to driving up and down the steep driveway. The kitchen was older and not very clean. Overall, we had a good time here.

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.

Stunning View, Great Value
This property is within walking distance to Queenstown centre and right on the Lakefront. It’s very good value in the midst of other crazily priced places. It’s quite quirky in style so don’t expect something super modern but it’s very clean and the view from the balcony is stunning. Great for our teenage kids and family of 6.
