About this property

Mountain and Lake Views - Diamond View Retreat

  • Summary:

    DIAMOND VIEW RETREAT SUMMARY:

    With stunning, wrap around lake and mountain views, this contemporary apartment is the ideal Queenstown retreat for a family vacation up the slopes or on the lake.



    The Space:

    From the moment you arrive at Diamond View Retreat, it’s easy to see where the name comes from. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame Queenstown’s spectacular alpine scenery, filling the apartment with natural light and bringing the surrounding mountains and landscape right into the living space. Designed for easy, comfortable stays, this single-level three-bedroom apartment is a great choice for families, couples or friends travelling together, with no internal stairs to navigate.



    LIVING & DINING



    At the heart of the home is the bright, open-plan kitchen, dining and living area. The contemporary kitchen is well equipped for self-catering and features a generous breakfast bar, making it easy to prepare meals while still being part of the conversation.

    Settle into the comfortable lounge, enjoy a movie on the flat-screen TV, or simply sit back and take in the ever-changing Queenstown views through the expansive windows.

    Step outside onto the private deck, where outdoor furniture and a BBQ create a relaxed setting for alfresco dining and evening drinks against a beautiful alpine backdrop.

    For aviation enthusiasts, there’s an added bonus — the elevated outlook provides a fantastic vantage point for watching a variety of aircraft as they make their way in and out of Queenstown Airport, all against the spectacular backdrop of the surrounding mountains.



    BEDROOMS & BATHROOMS

    All three bedrooms are located on one level, with heating throughout to keep the apartment warm and comfortable during Queenstown's cooler months.

    The spacious master bedroom is a highlight of the home, with its own ensuite and gorgeous outlook. Wake to the changing light across the mountains or enjoy the evening colours without even leaving your bed.

    A second bathroom services Bedrooms 2 and 3



    -Master Bedroom: 1 King bed, private ensuite and beautiful views

    -Bedroom 2: 1 King bed – can be split into 2 singles on request

    -Special events and the Christmas/New Year period may attract higher nightly rates and minimum-stay requirements.

    -The total accommodation price includes a pre-arrival inspection, house linen, towels, a standard departure clean and applicable taxes.

    -Stays of 7 nights or longer may require a mid-stay clean and linen change at an additional charge.

    Guest Access:

    Guests have private access to the entire apartment during their stay, including all three bedrooms, two bathrooms, open-plan kitchen and living area, private deck and dedicated laundry nook.

    There are two off-street parking spaces available for guest use. One of the real advantages of Diamond View Retreat is its single-level layout, with no internal stairs to navigate once inside the apartment.



    The Neighborhood:

    Diamond View Retreat is positioned to make the most of Queenstown’s remarkable alpine surroundings while providing a comfortable base away from the hustle and bustle of the town centre.

    You’ll be well placed for exploring everything the region is known for — from skiing and mountain biking to hiking, wineries, restaurants, adventure activities and days spent simply enjoying the scenery.

    Queenstown Airport, Frankton's shopping and amenities, and central Queenstown are all easily accessible from the property.



    Getting Around:

    Having a vehicle is a convenient way to explore Queenstown and the wider region, particularly if you're planning trips to the ski fields, Arrowtown, Gibbston or further afield. The property provides two off-street parking spaces.

    Queenstown also has a local public bus network, along with taxis and rideshare services for getting around without a car.

    As with many Queenstown locations, walking routes can include hills, so we recommend checking your route and distance if you plan to explore primarily on foot.



    Other Things to Note:

    Maximum occupancy is 6 guests.

    Bedroom 2 can be configured as either a King or 2 Singles when requested in advance.

    Bedroom 3 has 2 Single beds and cannot be converted into a King.

    The apartment is single level with no internal stairs.

    Two off-street parking spaces are provided.

    The home has a dedicated laundry nook with laundry tub, washing machine and clothes dryer.

    The elevated outlook includes views towards Queenstown Airport, so guests may see and hear aircraft arriving and departing during operating hours.

    Queenstown is an alpine environment and conditions can change quickly, particularly during winter. If travelling to ski fields or across alpine roads, please check road conditions before setting out.



    Interaction with Guests:

    Diamond View Retreat is professionally managed by the local Goodstays Queenstown team.

    We respect your privacy and leave you to enjoy the home as your own during your stay, but our local team is available should you need assistance.

    Prior to arrival, you'll receive access to your Guest App containing your arrival information and helpful details about the property and your stay. Access information will be provided separately prior to check-in.

Fantastic views and comfortable stay. Beds are very comfortable. I think it would be a bit small for 6 people in the living room area, also there is no separate dining area. But great for 2-4 people. Would definitely stay here again. Great service from Goodstays.

We were blown away by the view from the condo. It was luxurious, yet comfortable, and easy to maintain. We had 3 adults and 2 kids and had plenty of room and a very well equipped kitchen. Our host was amazing and very helpful. My son keeps saying this was his favorite stay of our trip and that we should move into this condo, haha! Highly recommend. Just like the pictures!

Loved our stay

We traveled from Auckland and had the pleasure of staying at this wonderful property. Our experience was truly fantastic; the house is beautiful, spacious, and offers stunning views that made our stay even more memorable. The home was thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed, ensuring our comfort and convenience throughout our visit. The peaceful surroundings and charming decor created a warm and inviting atmosphere. We appreciated the attention to detail and the effort put into making this property feel like a home away from home. Overall, it was a delightful stay, and we would definitely love to return in the future.

Great location and views!

We stayed three nights and very much enjoyed our stay. The place was clean, comfortable, a great location, and had wonderful views! We loved waking up in the morning to incredible views of the mountains and lake outside the floor to ceiling windows. The terrace was a lovely spot to have coffee in the mornings. The only complaint we had was that there was a very strong cleaning product smell that dominated the condo. We were able to mitigate some of it by opening the terrace doors to air things out.

Beautiful modern apartment/house

It was lovely. Views stunning. Everything we needed. Just missed not having a dining table and since we had friends (2) over for dinner and there were 4 of us staying and there were only 4 bar stools we had to stand around the kitchen bar. I dont recall the property advising that there was no dining table in the advertisement. Anyway it was lovely and we would stay again.

Beautiful Property and Great Management!

The views are panoramic, the property is perfectly situated between the town center and the airport. Very quiet and beautiful. Goodstays should be proud to have Teresa on staff. She helped us significantly and was wonderful to deal with. If you want personalized care, Teresa and her staff are great. At this price point most renters expect a little more, and Teresa was there to proudly represent her company and the property all the way through our stay. She is heartfelt and genuine. See you next time!!!!!!!!!

Family trip to Australia/New Zealand

Gorgeous view of lake and Queenstown from large balcony. Comfortable, clean, well appointed apartment. Heaters in bedrooms/bathrooms and heated blankets added nice touch. Easy to use appliances. Location close to airport and downtown. Only drawback - had to take taxis/Ubers to get anywhere from the home, but to be fair we didn’t look into public transportation so maybe it was available and we just didn’t realize it. Overall loved this place and would recommend it!
