The Lakeside Maisonette is an idyllic holiday home secluded amongst native bush on the shores of Lake Wakatipu with magnificent views across the lake to the Remarkables, Cecil Peak, and Walter Peak. The property borders a Department of Conservation reserve, and there is a walking track along the lake shore immediately below the Maisonette.

Although it is only 6 km from Queenstown, the setting is beautiful and peaceful. You can hear the waves lapping on the lake shore.

The architecturally designed Maisonette is self-contained. Upstairs are a large living area with a small kitchen and a mezzanine platform. There is a wood burner for heating and the main window has a fly screen. A north-facing deck opens out from the living area. Downstairs are a bedroom with a queen sized bed and a bathroom with a washing machine. There is a heat pump in the bedroom and a fly screen on the bedroom window.

The house is perfect for a couple and is very popular as a honeymoon destination.

The house has its own driveway and there is parking adjacent to the house. Please note - the driveway is NOT suitable for vans or campervans. If you come in a van you will need to park a few minutes walk from the house.

There is no public transport to this location, and there is NO WiFi and the TV is small.

Special conditions:
I take bookings up to 6 months in advance.
There is a three night minimum stay, although a 2 night stay may be available - a small additional fee would be charged.
I am happy to offer early check in and late check out at no additional cost if my other bookings permit.

    Whist the property was pleasant, and the view magnificent, the stay was spoiled by an aggressive host enforcing one of her many, many rules. BEWARE this property is extensively surveilled by CCTV cameras.Please, note, YOU MAY NOT HAVE ANY GUESTS whilst you are staying here.

    Had a great stay at the maisonette. You really can't ask for better views than this place. It was so relaxing staring out the windows - make sure you have time to spend at home to enjoy it! Very clean and tidy with comfortable furniture. The bed was not great for us, but that's personal - we like a medium firm mattress and this was very soft and sinkable. The fire is wonderful and adds to the special relaxation of staying here. Recommend booking!

    The property is exactly as I pictured it would be, the perfect location to explore the South Island of New Zealand. The size of the house was perfect for my wife and me and it was equipped for a small fajitas dinner and a couple of small breakfasts. The only issue was that the views from the property made it hard to leave since it was so breathtaking. We can’t wait to come back!

    We love everything about Lakeside Maisonette. From the warm heated bed, bathroom (heater above the toilet) and living room (wood fire) to the magnificent view. Clean amenities and all necessary essential to make your stay special and comfortable. Most important of all is the privacy. You’re not sharing anything with the owner. It’s a stand alone house. Lakeside Maisonette would be one of the reason why we would revisit Queenstown.

    Delightful. Quiet. Méditative. We’ll equipped. Private. Walking path and dock on the shore. Just a delightful experience. As travelers we would have appreciated wifi access. Thank you for a unique and restorative experience. ?

    We loved our stay. The cottage is beautiful and peaceful. Everything was perfect and the photos don’t do justice to the tranquility and peacefulness the home brings in.

    I have stayed in Queenstown many times in the past and the Lakeside Maisonette was by far my favorite. We had to drag ourselves away from the property everyday and looked forward to getting back at the end of each day. The views are amazing and the trail and pier right below the property made it a little haven to really relax.
