About this property

Highview Retreat - Huge holiday house - Best value in town!

Huge holiday home! 2 lounges, 2 kitchen- dining areas, 7 Bedrooms, 6.5 Bathrooms

Highview Retreat is a large, modern, well-appointed apartment style holiday home with million dollar views over Lake Wakatipu to the Remarkable mountain range.

Perfect for celebrations with family and friends, like an anniversary or special birthday with lots of room for everyone, and a gorgeous backdrop for photographs. Relax in our 5 person spa overlooking the lake and mountains after a day out hiking, skiing, biking or shopping!

There is an open fire in the main living area and television with Freeview, DVD player, and Chromecast. This living room has floor to ceiling windows and a view over the pond and creek beside the house as well as views over the lake and toward the Remarkable Mountains. There is access to the balcony, which has a BBQ, and an outdoor table and chairs. The sun pours into the kitchen-dining and the living area in the morning. The balcony is a fabulous sunny spot for breakfast. There is second living area on a lower level which also has Freeview TV with Chromecast, and an electric fire. There are two fully fitted kitchen-dining areas with large dining tables. (perfect for two families holidaying together).

There are 5 king bedrooms with ensuites. A queen room has an adjoining bathroom, and a twin bedroom shares an adjacent toilet. Two of the king rooms also have a bath set into the window with a stunning view over the lake.

The bedrooms enjoy the spectacular views over the lake to the Remarkables. Your morning cuppa in bed will never be the same without that view! Watch the planes on their approach into the airport. They are almost at eye-level!

Enjoy quality linens, and just tidy the house on check out - no need to clean!

The stay was fantastic, the accommodation was spot on and the location was great. The only negative was three of the beds had broken slates which we had to fix as you could not sleep on these beds.

Weekend away
Accomodation was great, so big and spacious. Superb views of QT and had everything we needed. Only issues was the communication leading up to the trip away,I reached out multiple times on multiple platforms and had no reply to my question about changing the booking number. However, the accommodation was amazing and I would book this home again.

Family reunion
We stayed at Highview Retreat for a family reunion - my 3 sons and their children, 12 of us in total, from New Zealand, the UK and the USA. The house was ideal for us all, and we had a great time. Fantastic views over the lake. Highly recommended.
Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2023
