About this house rental

Summary

This architecturally designed 5 bedroom, 4 bathroom home is nestled in a prime location on the shores of Lake Wakatipu, Queenstown, this residence seamlessly blends modern architecture with the beauty of a native bush environment.
The house is not only in a secluded spot with stunning views it is packed full of features from its spa pool, sauna, fire pit, outdoor deck to its bath with a view, separate work area and access to the lake (via a bush walk).

Two parking spaces available on the driveway.

Interaction

Someone from The Butler is just a phone call away. There is a detailed inhouse compendium for you to use.

Neighborhood

Located just 15 minutes from Queenstown Airport. Drift Bay House is in a very quiet and private area surrounded by native bush and close to the waters edge. You can see the Wye Creek Waterfall from the driveway of the house so for those who like to hike/explore the Wye Creek waterfall track is close by.

Access

No children or infants allowed sorry
You have full access to the house excluding the garage (although there is a carport for your vehicle) and a couple of locked owners cupboards.
Guests do not have access to the garage only the carport.

Space

If it is peace and quiet you are after then look no further than Drift Bay House.

As you walk up the path to the house the first thing that will catch your eye is the architecture and the fact that there are two parts to the home. The 2nd thing being the bird songs.

On your left you have the main house. Inside the main house on the ground floor you have a full bathroom which includes the laundry, kitchen, open plan lounge & dining area and a separate "winter room" with fireplace. Upstairs there is the master bedroom with a bathroom that can be closed off to make it an ensuite if required. A separate Queen room, bunk room with 2 sets of wooden bunk beds and then across the walkway is another bathroom and bedroom. Lots of space for everyone.

The right hand building has a bedroom, bathroom with wet shower and sauna, small kitchenette and large work desk for those who have to work while on holiday.

As you can see from the photos there is a lovely deck area that opens off the main lounge area where you can choose to dine or just relax on the sun lounges. There is also a separate courtyard off the kitchen that has a fire pit surrounded by comfortable outdoor furniture.

This is the perfect place for a friends getaway, elopement or adult retreat with its ability to sleep up to 10 people.
