The house is in a brilliant, elevated location, the views are stunning. The house is laid out well and it stays warm against the cold Queenstown winter days.

Without exaggeration, the impact of the mountain, lake and resort views as you walk into the living areas of this architecturally designed villa will overwhelm your senses and ensure a truly luxurious sense of arrival for your Queenstown holiday. This five-bedroom, four bathroom home is the perfect location to arrive, unwind and relax. You may never want to leave the villa or if you do, you have the restaurants; shops and the exciting buzz of the town centre a short drive away. The kitchen and dining areas are conducive to fun entertaining with friends or family guests while they are staying at Amaroo. There is a separate sitting room/TV room and a fabulous outside entertaining area with a spa pool and open outside fire. The furnishings are beautiful and partnered with a wonderful collection of art, much of it contemporary Australian art. There is plenty of space, privacy and luxury for all guests. It is the perfect villa location for a summer or winter break.
