We stayed here with the extended family and had the absolute best time. Very luxe finishes, plenty of space, and beyond stunning views. Also easy location for getting to both Coronet Peak and the Remarkables for ski days. We will absolutely come back again!!!

A group of us stayed at Shimmerlakes for 7 nights for a ski trip. Very modern house with lots of extras and very well equipped to cater to large groups. Super spacious and great location, not far from the mountains and Queenstown.
