Lake Wakatipu

You'll never run out of places to explore in and around Lake Wakatipu – not even after an icy dip in its crystal-clear waters. Above the surface, jet skis and wakeboards are an exciting alternative to kayaking or sailing. And for real thrill-seekers, Hydro Attack takes you zipping across the lake at 50 miles per hour in a submersible shark.

    We dis a great evening cruise on the TSS Earnslaw, crossing Lake Wakatipu to Walter Peak High Country Farm for an evening BBQ. Not cheap but a wonderful experience. The boat is a 100 year old steamship. Walter Peak is a traditional sheep station, the farmstead is lovely, the gardens stunning and the sheep sheering demonstration really work seeing.

    The views from the apartment are unbeatable. With Lake Wakatipu in front of you and The Remarkables in the distance, it made for a dramatic and brilliant experience. The apartment is laid out nicely - comfortable with living room with fireplace overlooking the scene with a wonderful patio in front. The sleeping area and bathroom are large and comfortable, and the kitchen and dining area work well. And if you're inclined to cook, the place has all the equipment you'll need to make it work.

    This gorgeous apartment had the most amazing unobstructed views over Lake Wakatipu from the deck!! It's a very comfortable but somewhat small place with all the expected amenities. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was great. Parking was just outside the door of the apartment. It is a couple of miles out of town so is very peaceful and away from the business of Queenstown, yet easy to get into town in a few minutes.

    The hotel is new, modern and chic throughout, with spacious and tastefully-appointed rooms. Location is great too. Being 5-10 minutes' walk from the center of Queenstown, it is just far away enough from the hustle and bustle of the shops and restaurants to be very quite and private. Located on a hillside, all lake view rooms boast great vistas over Lake Wakatipu and the Remarkables mountain range. Staff are friendly and helpful, and the breakfast selection is relatively broad.
