Vacation rentals with lake access in Lake Wakatipu

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!

Beautiful location with a stunning view of the lake. House was spotlessly clean. Host was friendly and accomodating!

Juliet's homestay is just beautiful!The balcony is the lake view and mountain view, the matching facilities are complete, there is everything you think of here, and there is a semi-automatic coffee machine, we stayed for three days very enjoyed and saw the rainbow🌈!

Absolutely stunning!!! From stepping into this beautiful space we were welcomed to peaceful music and a warm space to invite us in. We were in awe of the view and spent most of the afternoon sitting with a cuppa and looking out. The beds were very comfortable and warm and the shower was also excellent. Would definitely stay again and would highly recommend to anyone.

Great location Beautiful view Clean, comfortable beds, soft towels, comfy couch. Overall was really nice. Only suggestion would be to improve what’s available in the kitchen eg a pair of tongs, a strainer, some oil, cling wrap, foil. Kitchen was extremely limited to be able to cook a simple meal eg pasta. No foil to line oven trays. No way to cover leftovers. No hand soap in the kitchen. A few more basic items would give this place 5 stars. Overall 4.5

The location of this home in Kingston is just breathtaking. The lake, the mountains, the quaint little town -- all of it is perfect. It is a 45-ish minute drive from Queenstown, but that was a plus for us as we had day trips planned to Milford Sound and Invercargill. Plus, the drive to Queenstown is so beautiful. The house was very clean and cozy. We made ample use of the washing machine (which conveniently has a dryer option as well). I would highly recommend a stay at Ian's.

Picture perfect view of the lake and mountains. Quiet restful setting. Well equipped kitchen and good functional appliances. Easy walk to a tramping tracks. Nice shower and fabulous tank water, no chlorine or fluoride The only reason we wouldn't come back is the low ceiling height for my 6ft 2" husband who had to lower himself every time he used the stairs. Both bedrooms are upstairs, the bathroom is downstairs. The house rattled in the strong winds so ear plugs are a good idea if staying in the second bedroom. I highly recommend this place, but do your shopping enroute as the local supplies are limited.

A beautiful and spacious apartment just out of Queenstown. 10 years since we have last been to Queenstown and wow it has got bigger! So really nice to removed from that, in the quiet surrounds, with only a short drive to town.

A wonderful place with beautiful surroundings, quiet and comfortable.

Great views of Lake Wakatipu! Away from the business of the downtown area, but can easily access the downtown by car or bus. The bus stop is right at the end of the street. Not much room in the bedroom for your luggage but plenty of room in the living room and kitchen to spread out your things. Occasionally you can hear movement from the upstairs unit but it is brief and otherwise a quiet location.

Best location with spectacular views definitely will stay there again 🏔️⛰️

My partner and I spent a few days here for our first trip to Queenstown and it was absolutely perfect, we loved our stay! The apartment itself is tidy and cosy and the view of the lake is beautiful and even better than the photos 😍 Kirsty was a great host and made sure we had everything we needed as well as providing some great local recommendations including a scenic walk into town, which we loved doing every day. We would stay here again and 100% recommend!

A truly wonderful apartment in a fantastic location, 3 mins walk to the town centre. Karen was an excellent host and was very responsive throughout, providing lots of local recommendations.

the place was exceptional! Ray was so friendly, kind and quick to respond. even with the last-minute request, we were allowed to check in earlier which was super helpful. 120% recommended!

We really appreciated having a clean, convenient space for our 2 night get away to the city. We are from the states staying in Twizel but wanted to come to the city for a few nights. The place was perfect with all the amenities. Great for kids. Loved the balcony views! Can’t beat it!

Great apartment. Ideal for 2 people. Beautiful view. Very clean with everything you need for a nice stay. Geoff was very easy to communicate with. Landscape work being done across the road, so access to town will be easier when it’s finished (soon)

loved this place!! the views were gorgeous!! also nice to stay outside the craziness of Queenstown

We loved our time here. Each night it felt like we were coming back home. It was so easy to relax after a day exploring. We chose this location because it fit well into our itinerary and we are so glad that we did.

Exceptionally beautiful stay. Stunning cottage and location, with very thoughtful and generous hosts. We loved the local art that was showcased too - a vibrant and unique collection.

Beautiful little cottage with quality furniture and furnishings. A beautiful view for a few days retreat

10/10, Central, lovely home and great hosts

Loved our stay so much we will be back. The location is secluded but still quite central to all of the main areas of the queenstown region. Car recommended to get around. The lake Hayes area has a beautiful peaceful residential feel, with walking track around the lake itself, and surrounded by beautiful New Zealand architecture and rural properties. As a plus, the Frankston shopping centre is about a 3 minute drive and very convenient. Our favourite restaurants and winery at Ayrburn is also just a 3-4 minute drive away - incredible. The cabin was clean, well equipped and the spa and fireplace are a huge plus for the cooler months.

This place was beautiful! Loved the view, and the hosts were very patient and helpful with our sometimes redundant questions.

There is not enough praise I can give to Rob and this beautiful stay. Rob was extremely friendly, responsive, and accommodating to all requests made. We instantly felt at home as soon as we stepped into the cottage and loved every moment here. Rob was quite helpful with allowing for an earlier check in time, and later check out and ensured the place was perfectly clean and comfortable upon arrival. The place is well kept - and very peaceful to return to after a day out. The fireplace, and hot tub are perfect touches! Would give 6 stars if I could. Thank you for making this a perfect stay.
