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.

Good communication with the host and the views were absolutely jaw dropping. It was incredible to be able to wake up to the view everyday and wish we could do it again.

Diamond View Retreat's setting on the hillside and the spacious balcony allows guests to enjoy the wonderful views of Lake Wakatipu and the mountains all day long.
We had plenty of space and the views were excellent. We appreciated the clear instructions on how to use the amenities. The apartment is located close to the airport and to downtown Queenstown. We didn't have a car, but everything was a quick Uber ride. We would highly recommend this stay.

Diamond View Retreat is a wonderful property enjoyed by all guests who visit. A highlight is being able to sit out on the balcony in comfort to enjoy the weather and the views.
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.

It was the overall package. I contacted the owner twice and received responses quickly. The view was breath taking. The condo was well equipped for any cooking desired.
Accommodation was great and I would highly recommend staying here. Apartment is exactly how you see it, beautiful view. 5 minute drive into town. It was super easy and we loved looking at this view every morning. Highly recommend

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!

Thank you for your wonderful review! I'm thrilled to hear that you and your family enjoyed the stunning views and found the condo both luxurious and comfortable. Your son’s enthusiasm truly warms my heart! We can't wait to welcome you back for another memorable stay!
Amazing views, and a great location. Close to airport, Frankton, and city center. We stayed here the longest during our overseas trip and it was a decision I’m glad we did not regret!
