Apt12 Lakefront Apartments
The absolutely breathtaking views, just a few minutes' walk to Queenstown center. Deborah provided lots of helpful information. The room was well-equipped and incredibly cozy — I’d choose it again next time. Highly recommended!

Queenstown's New Lakefront Marvel
Worth every dollar, location was perfect. Apartment was everything we needed for our stay in Queenstown. Highly recommend

Alpine luxury
beautiful place, lovely and warm, bed and pillows were super comfy. had everything we needed and views we are missing already

Q1 Luxury Central Apartment
The Relax It’s Done team were very proactive and helpful prior to our arrival. We were travelling with our family of 4 & grandparents. The place was perfect, warm and ready for us to walk into. The team had a cot set up ready to go when we arrived & dropped over a highchair when we realised we’d forgotten to ask. Their ideas for Queenstown and compendium in house was very helpful! Couldn’t recommend more for a holiday to switch off!

Villa Del Lago Premium Lake-View 2-Bedroom Villa
We absolutely LOVED our stay! The place was a great size and the view was incredible. We would stay here again for sure! 10/10

11 Esplanade Residences Lake Wakatipu.
It was great to stay at a place that was so easily accessible to the center of Queenstown, with the shopping and restaurants so close. The beautiful view of the lake right across the street was an added bonus.

InnThePink - Brand New Apartment on Lake Edge
We had the most incredible stay at Victoria’s space! The smell from the fresh florals was such a unique and wonderful touch. The space was designed so well and the views of the mountains and the lake are just breath taking. It’s across the street from the most incredible restaurant that Victoria suggested (The Sherwood) and we ended up going back 2 nights in a row to try everything on the menu. The proximity from town is great, you can walk if you are feeling like some exercise or it’s a quick 5 min drive/ uber. We also enjoyed an afternoon swimming off the dock in the refreshing waters of the lake. I cannot recommend this stay enough!

Tāhuna Lakefront Luxury
This Airbnb was the perfect spot for us to spend our honeymoon. It is in the perfect location and the property was beautiful and very tidy. 10/10 would recommend and hope we can come back one day!

Queenstown Lakefront Dream | Hot Tub | BBQ |
Travelling with family of 6 plus grandparents. Was a great stay and 5-10 mins from airport and 5-10mins from town depending on traffic. The layout was good for us as we could stay upstairs while the grandparents had the self contained unit downstairs. The main living room was great and had a big window that captured the views amazingly. The outside had a nice little outside space with table and chairs and great on the couple of sunny days. The hottub was good on our ski days and overlooked the water which was nice. The property was clean and functional and had the basics. The bedrooms were on the smaller side but was fine for that style and time of building. One thing to keep in mind is that the driveway is a little harder to get down coming from the south if you have a long wheel base. This is due to the orientation of the hairpin corner. It sometimes hard to get out from during busy times if heading south as you cannot clearly see around the corner and can be dangerous.

Fantail-Uninterrupted Mountain & Lake View-access
Beautiful apartment! Very clean looks just like the pictures. Can’t get enough of the views! Had everything we needed down to kitchen utensils and heater. Roughly 5 mins drive to the city. David is also very responsive and checked in on us which was nice. The only downsides I would say are the stairs to get to the apartment, more so only on check in and out days with heavy luggage, but we were very well aware of that prior to booking. Also the driveway is a bit tricky but still overall 5 stars. My partner and I enjoyed staying there.

Lakefront Luxury - Amazing Views
We had an amazing stay! The lake view from our place was absolutely stunning. The location was super convenient—so close to the airport and major supermarkets like Pack’n Save. Check-in and check-out were the easiest we’ve ever experienced. The interior was beautifully designed and made our stay feel extra special. We spent three nights here during my dad’s 60th birthday trip, and my parents loved it so much that we’re already talking about coming back. Everything was spectacular!

Lakes Edge, Kawarau Falls
This is a truly beautiful home and now our second stay! We love the views, location, the jet boats passing through and all the wildlife the natural environment provides. We prefer to commute to town on the water taxi to avoid the busy traffic. Thank you again for sharing your beautiful home.

Look At The Lake!
Jef is a top notch host. The house is absolutely beautiful and the location overlooking the lake is ideal. You won’t a better host or property to stay at!! Highly recommend.

Modern Alpine Retreat with Private Sauna
We recently stayed at Emma's place for 4 nights, and it was a fantastic experience for our family of five. The home was clean, modern, and stylish, which made our stay very enjoyable. The location was great, offering easy access to Coronet Peak for our ski activities, while also just a short 10-minute drive to the town centre. Emma was a great host, and we couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. Highly recommended!

Private Retreat - Stunning Lake & Mountain Views!
We travelled to Queenstown for our wedding and could not be more thrilled with our choice to stay at this beautiful property - honestly, we cannot fault a single thing! Jo has gone above and beyond to think of everything you could possibly need for a comfortable and luxurious stay. This house will hold a very special place in our memories, and we hope to return on the future!

Mountain Lodge Retreat
We really enjoyed our stay at Agnesa's place. The views were amazing and the location was perfect for us. We loved the quiet neighbourhood. The beds were comfy and the house was super clean. We loved the layout and style of the house. Would love to stay again.

Lakeview Haven
Julia’s place offers one of the best bang-for-your-buck views in Queenstown! With two separate bedrooms, it was more than spacious for us as a couple. The living area has a gas heater that warms the space quickly, plus finned heaters in each room kept us cozy during chilly nights. The kitchen comes thoroughly equipped with 4 gas powered stoves, electric kettle, microwave oven and nespresso machine. There's also a washing machine and clothes rack to dry your clothes! The hot tub was a highlight — perfect for a solo soak under the stars, with consistently warm water. The location is super convenient: just 10 minutes from the airport and around 15 minutes to the CBD. Plus, major supermarkets like New World, Woolworths, and Kmart are close by. Highly recommended for a comfortable and well-located stay!

Alpenglow - Q1 Apartments
Really great apartment in a great location. Keren was very responsive and extremely accommodating. Wish we could have stayed longer!!!

Lakeside Escape
The place is self-sufficient and offers a gorgeous view of Lake Wakatipu. It was perfect for our family with a toddler—fully equipped with all the necessary amenities. Very private, clean, and in a great location. Being close to the airport, we occasionally spotted airplanes, which was an absolute hit with our toddler! Highly recommend

Lakefront Twin Studio in Queenstown CBD!
The studio was in a great location. It was easy to find, clean and tidy. Will definitely stay if im in Queenstown again.
