Ibon House - Jaw-dropping lake and mountain views
Summary:
Perched high above Lake Wakatipu in one of Queenstown’s most sought-after hillside enclaves, Ibon House is a warm, character-filled alpine retreat designed to showcase breathtaking lake and mountain views. With soaring timber ceilings, expansive picture windows and sun-filled living spaces, this is a home that instantly helps you slow down and unwind. Tucked away at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, yet only a 10-minute drive to downtown.
The Space:
Only a 10-minute drive to downtown, you’ll find Ibon House at the end of a private cul-de-sac — a peaceful haven that feels a world away, yet remains wonderfully close to everything Queenstown has to offer.

Pictures actually don’t do this place justice, I expected views and a comfortable place, but in reality views are spectacular. From the kitchen, the bedrooms and especially the outdoor spa. It’s such a great escape place for a bunch of friends or two families. Highly recommend!
The property itself is older and needs some work. The heating could have been a little better, the fireplace unfortunately smoked the house out, but the views and location made up for it tenfold. Will definitely book again, its perfect for bigger groups.
The pictures don’t do justice to the views from this property. We all just wanted to sit in the window all day! I took hundreds of pictures because I couldn’t get enough.
The place was spacious and we really enjoyed our time as a family of nine here! Our stay here just added to the magic of our visit to Queenstown!
Lovely spot not crammed in amongst other houses, really nice view and awesome property and layout. Would recommend staying here

Stunning views and great home for a group.
We stayed here with friends and family. The house has the most amazing views and is very comfortable. Whilst aspects of the home may be a little tired the location and amenities far outweigh this.
This home is absolutely stunning!! The views cannot be beat. The size of the home was ideal for our group of 8. Everyone had ample space to spread out and relax. The hosts were very responsive to any messages and helpful. I highly recommend this property.
Fantastic property in a brilliant location. Views were unobstructed and and absolutely incredible. Property is a little older, but photos are a true depiction of what to expect. We were two families staying for a week and we were very comfortable with plenty of space in the middle of winter. So quiet and easy to get around. Would highly recommend and would love to go back!
Ibon house was a great spot for a group of 9 friends to stay for a few nights. Location was amazing and views were to die for. Everything you needed was available and there were tons of places to spread out. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would happily return if back in Queenstown.
A little bit of TLC would up this from a 4.5 star rating to a 5.

Awesome location with the most amazing views !!!! Lovely home,& well equipped with enough room for our extended family.. Would definitely book again
We had an amazing stay at this beautiful property, with stunning views over the lake. Our one small gripe was the way they handle rubbish during your stay. While the conditions of stay clearly outline how rubbish is handled, it is a hassle and this needs to made easier for the guest.

Ibon house located in excellent position for viewing Queenstown and Remarkable snow mountain. Just a few minutes drive away from town center. If all beds has heat mattress that will become perfect during winter.
Great location for family group. Spacious, quiet location - on site parking.
Two downstairs bathrooms need modernising.
Aircon throughout needs upgrading.
Water leak outside during stay caused issues with water pressure.

We stayed at Ibon house for 11 days through January. House was clean, comfortable and easily accommodated 10 people. View is spectacular at anytime of the day or night. Only negatives, Lack of decent utensils eg. frypans etc, fridge too small for 10 people. No recycling bins for plastic/glass etc. Overall though we enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend Ibon House.
un très beau séjour en famille ,la villa est très agréable et très bien aménagé,.petit bémol il faut s organiser pour prendre des douches car petit cumulus . l extérieur est parfait avec la piscine et la vue est magnifique
We all were highly impressed with the space the property offered, we were 8 adults and could have accommodated an extra 2. Probably offered the best views in QT.
