Five Star Luxury Kawarau Penthouse!

Top rated by guests
The fabulous master bedroom... north facing for direct sunshine year round.  The room features a gas fireplace and wall mounted smart tv.  The curtains can be drawn to block out the light.
The gourmet kitchen flows into the living room, dining room and out onto the large deck
Beautiful gourmet gallery style kitchen
The steps down to the lakefront where you will find the Wakatipu Grill restaurant and the jetty to catch the Queenstown Water taxi into downtown Queenstown.
The enormous outdoor, rooftop deck is north facing, so it always receives a lot of direct sunshine and fantastic views over Lake Wakatipu, the Remarkables Mountains and the surrounding Queenstown region.

It is a luxury penthouse indeed. The views are beautiful, the kitchen amply supplied, the beds very comfortable. We loved being in this facility and being in New Zealand in general.
