About this property

Livin` on Lake Time | Waterfront home | Spectacular views and convenient to town

Welcome to Livin’ on Lake Time, a gorgeous five-bedroom waterfront townhouse, boasting breathtaking views of the iconic Remarkables mountain range. This chic retreat offers a peaceful front row seat of stunning Lake Wakatipu, and a convenient location from central Queenstown.

VIEWS:
Elevated slightly above the water`s edge, soak in the uninterrupted views of Lake Wakatipu, and Queenstown’s iconic alpine vistas including the Kelvin Heights Peninsula, Cecil Peak, Walter Peak, the Crown Range and the Remarkables. The location offers a stunningly peaceful outlook from the large windows in the living space or the front bedrooms below, just as if the lake is lapping your toes.

LOCATION:
Livin’ on Lake Time is situated at the Queenstown end of Frankton Road. The vibrant town centre is only a short 4-minute drive by car, 10-minute bike ride, or a 25-minute walk. A 6-minute drive in the other direction, be sure to visit the Frankton Marina with the highly regarded Boatshed café and bakery, a craft brewery, restaurant, pizzeria and more. Guests are also just an 8-minute drive from the International Airport and for winter guests, Coronet Peak ski field is an easy 26-minute drive away.

STYLE:
This home has been recently and thoughtfully refurbished, providing guests a fantastic homebase while in Queenstown. Spread across three levels and accessed via the open plan living area, this apartment has a chic yet cosy style with a mountain lake vibe, and has all you need for a comfortable and amazing stay.

BEDROOMS & BATHROOMS:
With five bedrooms spread across two levels this is a great home for groups or families travelling together. The master bedroom on the middle level has wonderful lake views, a private balcony, Smart TV and ensuite with separate shower and jetted spa bathtub. Bedroom 2 also has beautiful lake views and a Smart TV. Bedroom 3 and a shared bathroom are also on this middle level. Bedrooms 4 & 5 are on the ground level, along with a smaller shower room and separate toilet. Bedroom 4 has lake views and a Smart TV. Bedroom 5 has a Queen bed, but is the smallest bedroom. All three bathrooms have luxury toiletries and hair dryers provided.

Upgraded in July 2025: The property now features two generously sized hot water cylinders, providing abundant hot water to ensure every guest’s comfort.

Simply enjoy the outstanding views from this space; it’s hard to take your eyes away from the serene water and majestic mountains! For winter guests there is a heat pump on this level and an open fireplace, perfect for cosy nights at home after a day on the slopes.

KITCHEN & DINING:
The kitchen is well-appointed with a spacious pantry, espresso machine and pretty much anything you need. The adjacent dining area has seating for eight and offers a comfortable setting to enjoy delightful meals while taking in the picturesque views of the surrounding landscape. There is outdoor seating for four on the balcony along with bench seating, a peaceful spot to enjoy your morning coffee.

OUTDOORS:
The complex has a private tennis court, which is conveniently located right next door to the townhouse and racquets are provided for guest use. This home is the perfect place to give you a private and relaxing retreat away from the hustle and bustle of central Queenstown, but all the attractions are still easily accessible by car, on foot or by bike. Known as the adventure capital of the world, Queenstown is an outdoor enthusiast`s dream come true. From world-renowned hiking and biking trails to thrill-seeking adrenaline activities, you’ll be perfectly positioned to explore everything this vibrant landscape has to offer.

In the garage, there is a 2-person infrared sauna that guests are welcome to use. There is open parking in marked spaces throughout the complex, including a few spots right in front. Please note the garage is not available for guest parking, and campervans, boats, jet skis and trailers are not permitted to be brought into the complex.

There are also wall-installed electric heaters in each of the bedrooms.

Queenstown marathon

Wonderful property for the 9 of us visiting for the marathon (and other sightseeing). Great location for all of our activities. Number of bedrooms and bathrooms was perfect for our needs and it was nice having the living space on the entry floor, so we could have beautiful views. Amenities were as detailed, and the kitchen was well appointed for us to make group meals. Definitely recommend.
