Things To Do: Discover Queenstown

The Waterfront is near the Queenstown Gardens, which line the shoreline on the opposite side of the bay and feature disc golf. Guests can walk along the waterfront towards the main beachfront jetty, where they can read about Lake Whakatipu's history. A five-minute walk leads to One Mile Creek. The Skyline Gondola, for zipline adventures, is also nearby. Wine tours depart from Queenstown to vineyards in the Whakatipu basin, Gibbston Valley, Bannockburn, and Cromwell.

Nearby Dining Options

Steamer Wharf is a hundred metres from the apartments. Dining options include The Pier, Atlas, Finz, Flame, Public, and Little Blackwood.

“What stands out is the prized location on Queenstown's waterfront, where every apartment has an exclusive balcony overlooking Lake Wakatipu; the accommodations range from luxury penthouses to family apartments, ensuring a fit for diverse needs. It's close to both outdoor adventures and quiet spots such as Queenstown Gardens. I think it's a solid choice.”
