The fabulous master bedroom... north facing for direct sunshine year round.  The room features a gas fireplace and wall mounted smart tv.  The curtains can be drawn to block out the light.

Beautiful gourmet gallery style kitchen
The steps down to the lakefront where you will find the Wakatipu Grill restaurant and the jetty to catch the Queenstown Water taxi into downtown Queenstown.
The enormous outdoor, rooftop deck is north facing, so it always receives a lot of direct sunshine and fantastic views over Lake Wakatipu, the Remarkables Mountains and the surrounding Queenstown region.

This is a fantastic home base to explore the Queenstown region from.With killer views during your morning coffee and lots of space for the whole family to unwind after the many daily adventures, this place has it all.And if you want to enjoy nightlife in Queenstown - it’s a water taxi or uber away so you get to enjoy the hustle and the bustle, but in a much better price/quality home.We really enjoyed our stay with our family of four

This is my favorite stay with VRBO ever. The location is great, far away from downtown Queenstown to be peaceful, close enough to drive or take the ferry when you want to be there. The views are fantastic. The penthouse was comfortable with a well-appointed kitchen. The deck is like having another room. We had a few requests which the hosts responded to immediately. We couldn’t have been happier with our stay!
