About this apartment rental

Summary:

COUPLE’S RETREAT PROPERTY SUMMARY:

For a romantic getaway in beautiful Queenstown, this one-bedroom, lakeside self-contained "Granny Flat" apartment is spacious, with a stunning, rustic, Central Otago feel. The original schist walls of this home were built in the days of horse and cart – giving it a truly authentic, yesteryear charm.



The Space:

ACCOMMODATION DETAILS:

Couple’s Retreat is a spacious "Granny Flat" apartment located under the main house, in a beautiful lakeside location with access to all you could need during your Queenstown getaway.

To your immediate left is the entrance to a secure spacious, open plan living area, with a large dining table, 2 sumptuous couches, full kitchen facilities and a beautiful alfresco area.



This property features a separate bedroom for added privacy, tastefully decorated, with a Queen-size bed and large floor-to-ceiling windows to capture the natural light.



Nestle down during those sunny afternoons in one of the many spots in the outside garden with a book, enjoy a glass of world-renowned Central Otago pinot as the sun sets, or dip your toes in your own little slice of Lake Wakatipu.

This is a very lovely place with a wonderful view of lake and Mountain. It is within walking distance (on a walking and bicycleing path) to places to eat. Location is great! Our comment for improvement would be: 1) add a wardrobe or chifforobe in bedroom for hanging clothes. Present space for hanging clothes is not adequate. 2) Add more lighting in kitchen and dining area. We would rent this place again.

10 / 10Outstanding·Nov 2025
We had a lovely stay here. It has views of the lake and the mountains. Watched jets take off from the airport. The garden area is beautiful. The space was very comfortable. Really enjoyed morning coffee staring at the scenery. It is close to the lake path and not far away are some food places and a microbrewery. We chose to walk to the bus stop about two blocks away to go to and from Queenstown. Very easy. The owner, Neil, met us and showed us around and shared the history of the home which is very interesting. He was so sweet!Access to the bathroom and laundry are in a hallway but we never ran into the owners. And there is a door that locks between the unit and the bathrooms so security was never an issue with us.We would love to come back if we are ever given the chance to return to New Zealand!!
