Lakeside Maisonette - absolute lakefront

“2013 Silver Winner Golden Piwa Awards" BEST IN LOCATION!

The Lakeside Maisonette is an idyllic holiday home secluded amongst native bush on the shores of Lake Wakatipu with magnificent views across the lake to the Remarkables, Cecil Peak, and Walter Peak. The property borders a Department of Conservation reserve, and there is a walking track along the lake shore immediately below the Maisonette.

Although it is only 6 km from Queenstown, the setting is beautiful and peaceful. You can hear the waves lapping on the lake shore.

The architecturally designed Maisonette is self-contained. Upstairs are a large living area with a small kitchen and a mezzanine platform. There is a wood burner for heating and the main window has a fly screen. A north-facing deck opens out from the living area. Downstairs are a bedroom with a queen sized bed and a bathroom with a washing machine. There is a heat pump in the bedroom and a fly screen on the bedroom window.

The house is perfect for a couple and is very popular as a honeymoon destination.

Please note that I will have very little access to the internet from 8th March until 3rd April and so will be slow to answer any messages.

The house has its own driveway and there is parking adjacent to the house. Please note - the driveway is NOT suitable for vans or campervans. If you come in a van you will need to park a few minutes walk from the house.

There is no public transport to this location, and there is NO WiFi.

Special conditions:
I take bookings up to 6 months in advance.
There is a three night minimum stay, although a 2 night stay may be available - a small additional fee would be charged.
I am happy to offer early check in and late check out at no additional cost if my other bookings permit.
The house is perfect for a couple.

Extras: Cleaning (included); Linen (included);

Piece of paradise
The property is exactly as I pictured it would be, the perfect location to explore the South Island of New Zealand. The size of the house was perfect for my wife and me and it was equipped for a small fajitas dinner and a couple of small breakfasts. The only issue was that the views from the property made it hard to leave since it was so breathtaking. We can’t wait to come back!

7 stars Accomodation
We love everything about Lakeside Maisonette. From the warm heated bed, bathroom (heater above the toilet) and living room (wood fire) to the magnificent view. Clean amenities and all necessary essential to make your stay special and comfortable. Most important of all is the privacy. You’re not sharing anything with the owner. It’s a stand alone house. Lakeside Maisonette would be one of the reason why we would revisit Queenstown.

A jewel in the wilderness!
Delightful. Quiet. Méditative. We’ll equipped. Private. Walking path and dock on the shore. Just a delightful experience. As travelers we would have appreciated wifi access. Thank you for a unique and restorative experience. 🙌

Amazing Experience
I have stayed in Queenstown many times in the past and the Lakeside Maisonette was by far my favorite. We had to drag ourselves away from the property everyday and looked forward to getting back at the end of each day. The views are amazing and the trail and pier right below the property made it a little haven to really relax.

Breathtaking Views!
We loved our stay at the Lakeside Masionette! It had everything we needed and it was just the right size for two! Close enough to Queenstown, but away from all of the crowds. Very peaceful and private. So relaxing to sit on the deck and enjoy the amazing view. Great views from every room, even the shower! Christine was a great host, very responsive.
