We are sadly unable to take the time off to use the accommodation this year. An amazing resort to have a holiday at, located within 2 minutes walking distance to the Queenstown CBD.

Resort Overview:
Queenstown is the jewel in New Zealand’s South Island, where action and magnificent scenery meet extraordinary dining, fine wine, and world-class shopping. In the centre of it all, you’ll find Queenstown Mews. Positioned only a few minutes’ walk from the shores of Queenstown’s Lake Wakatipu, the resort is a stone’s throw from the awe-inspiring attractions that make Queenstown the number one tourist town in the South Island.
During the summer months, take on the thrilling action and non-stop water sports on Lake Wakatipu, followed by the world’s best bungie jumping and white-water rafting. See the view from the top of the Gondola, tour nearby historic Arrow town, explore the region’s picturesque wineries, or journey out to the spectacular sights of Milford Sound.

This well-appointed 3-bedroom apartment can comfortably accommodate a family group, with all the features for a relaxing stay. With its distinctive alpine feel, the resort also offers a BBQ area, spa and sauna, as well as bicycles and golf clubs for guests.
