About this property
The Boulders Retreat - Lake Views - Outdoor Bath
Perched 100 metres above Lake Dunstan, The Boulders Retreat is a stylish hillside villa with panoramic views of Central Otago’s mountains. Nestled among rugged boulders, this private escape blends bold design, comfort, and natural beauty.
Inside, vibrant interiors and large windows frame ever-changing lake and mountain vistas. The open-plan living space includes a fully equipped kitchen and dining area—perfect for relaxed meals with a view. In the evening, soak in the outdoor bathtub under the stars with a glass of local Pinot Noir.
The villa sleeps up to six guests across three bedrooms: a king master suite with ensuite, a queen room, and a bunkroom (ages 12+), which share a modern bathroom. As a certified passive house, it offers year-round comfort.
Located next to Cloudy Bay vineyard and close to the Dunstan Trail, Bendigo bike tracks, and top wineries, this is the ideal base for wine lovers and outdoor adventurers alike.
