The family-friendly Esplanade, in scenic Queenstown, offers villas that sleep up to eight people. Families can explore the adventure capital of New Zealand, then relax in accommodations that offer full kitchens and otherworldly views of Lake Wakatipu. A personal chef is available for guests who have no interest in cooking for themselves. Summers in Queenstown are ideal for swimming, fishing, and jet skiing on the lake. There are plenty of ski slopes to provide endless entertainment in the winter, and the Queenstown Winter Festival attracts tourists from around the world. The Skyline Gondola provides spectacular views 365 days a year.

This is an excellent property. So close to town and with views of the lake and the Remarkables, this well-appointed, 3 bedroom unit, with a cosy fire is a must for us to return to. Garage and parking out the back.

Stayed in Apartment 3 for three nights over the weekend of my daughters wedding. We chose this place because it was light filled (great for photographs) and had a homeliness about it and we wanted our daughter to feel like she was leaving a ‘home’ for her wedding rather than from a hotel room. It didn’t disappoint, it had generous living areas downstairs with a clean and modern kitchen, comfortable quality furnishings, ambience provided by a gas fireplace and a cosy courtyard where we shared breakfast and conversations with our daughter on her wedding day. The living areas also provided a wonderful space for the hair and makeup team to prepare the members of the bride tribe on the wedding day. The rooms upstairs were all comfortable with lovely views of the lake and mountains and two modern bathrooms which easily accommodated our family of four. Underfloor heating was certainly welcome and kept the apartment warm at all times. We had no necessity for extra heating. The road at the front of the apartments was sometimes a little noisy as I like to sleep with the window open, however, most of the time it didn’t bother us. The convenient location to town and walks along the foreshore more than compensated for any noise we experienced from the road. An added bonus was a storage area under the staircase to put our bags (we had 7), however a downstairs bathroom could have been a welcome addition to the living area. All in all a great location and apartment for a family get together or group holiday.
