Alpine luxury
This apartment was rally comfortable and had a wonderful view out across the lake to the mountains. We really appreciated the team collecting my husband’s shirt that was posted to Queenstown and leaving it in the apartment for us - very kind. The washing machine and clothes airer were indispensable for us, having just come off 6 days walking further north - seems small but made a very helpful difference to our stay being able to clean and dry our clothes so easily. Also very helpful having a designated car park. Traffic noise was not any problem as it is only evident in the bedroom and settles right down overnight. I would be delighted to stay here again when we return to beautiful Queenstown which has a great “vibe”, gorgeous walks/trail runs locally and wonderful reataurants. We had such a great stay. Thank you to Olivia and all the team at Bees

Retro Charm close to Queenstown airport
We enjoyed our stay. Place was charming and clean, and fit our needs perfectly.

Exciting Queenstown
Probably our favourite Airbnb ever. It ticks all the boxes. It has a perfect location: outside the town but walkable to town in about 25 minutes on the lakeside Queenstown Track, and it’s on the slope below the main road into town, so you don’t see or hear the traffic. It has a gorgeous view of the lake and mountains that you could look at for hours. It has comfortable beds. It has a fully equipped kitchen, with helpful labels on the cupboards and drawers so you’re not constantly trying to remember where things are. It’s easy to get in, with access by code so you don’t have to worry about keys or cards. It has convenient parking. It has good bikes that you can take out - we rode to the Kelvin Peninsula on the other side of the bay. There’s lots of room to spread out. The host’s representative replied right away when we had questions. It’s not cheap but it is so worth it.

Atalante - Lakefront Location with Stunning Views
Excellent view! Clean and Easy access to the unit from the car park. Everything works and it’s just a few steps to the walking trails.

Riverside Studio all to yourself
What a lovely place. I felt like home. The apartment was clean, modern and cosy.

Glenorchy Home On The Lake!
We had a wonderful 3 nights at this lovely house. Very spacious and fabulous views. Everything you need in the kitchen. Rina was super helpful with things to do and where to eat. We followed her recommendations and were very pleased we did. Would love to return.

Queenstown Lakefront Dream | Hot Tub | BBQ |
Travelling with family of 6 plus grandparents. Was a great stay and 5-10 mins from airport and 5-10mins from town depending on traffic. The layout was good for us as we could stay upstairs while the grandparents had the self contained unit downstairs. The main living room was great and had a big window that captured the views amazingly. The outside had a nice little outside space with table and chairs and great on the couple of sunny days. The hottub was good on our ski days and overlooked the water which was nice. The property was clean and functional and had the basics. The bedrooms were on the smaller side but was fine for that style and time of building. One thing to keep in mind is that the driveway is a little harder to get down coming from the south if you have a long wheel base. This is due to the orientation of the hairpin corner. It sometimes hard to get out from during busy times if heading south as you cannot clearly see around the corner and can be dangerous.

Lakefront Terrace - Walk to Town
Great communication. We were a family group and the house was perfect, lots of comfy spots to unwind. Great location, would definitely stay again!

Lakefront, amazing views, spa & 5 min walk to town
Super high end finishes and great location. Thank you so much!

Modern Lakefront Holiday Home
I had a great time with my family at this Air bnb, it had amazing views, the house was clutter free and very clean, felt just like being at my home. Kids loved the bunk beds 😊

Kingston Villa with lake and mountain views.
Fantastic location situated just back from the lake. Great balcony with views. Comfortable beds, spacious kitchen and living room.

Lakeview
Great stay. Great little house by lake. Great fire place. Just needed some tea bags and coffee. Lovely spot. Highly recommended.
Waterfront condo accommodation

Lakeview Haven
Nice bathroom. Loved the hot tub. Nice location by the lake - about a 10 minute drive from town. Just something to note if you are staying in Summer this place doesn't have air-conditioning. We were out all day exploring and by the time we got home the breeze had cooled the place down but if you were planning to hang at the apartment in the afternoon it gets quite hot.

Alpenglow - Q1 Apartments
Really great apartment in a great location. Keren was very responsive and extremely accommodating. Wish we could have stayed longer!!!

Fantastic Views!The Point Apartment
Highly recommended!!! Moon’s place has the BEST VIEWS you can ever ask for. The unit is spacious, comfortable, and easily our favourite Airbnb out of the ten places we stayed at in NZ this trip. Moon is also a fantastic and generous host, always available to help & respond. I would love to stay here again one day! Parking takes some practice, but i’m proud of have conquered the process after three nights!

Lakeside Escape
A fantastic two bedroom apartment with outstanding views. Could not have asked for a better into our week in Queenstown.
