Top of the world studio nestled in the rock, hotel in Wanaka

Offering a garden and river view, Top of the world studio nestled in the rock is located in Queensberry, 24 km from The Wanaka Tree and 38 km from Central Otago District Council.

It was an incredible place to stay. The view was remarkable and amazing to wake up to with the large curtain free windows that maximised the view. It was peaceful, the hosts were so friendly, great to talk to and so helpful, the dogs were so lovely to interact with, the room was modern, clean and comfortable. Super handy to have the mini fridge, kettle, (appreciated the tea, coffee and biscuits). It was great to be able to explore the property a little and just take in the view with no technology distractions (though wifi was good). We would definitely stay there again! Highly recommended.

    Excellent accommodation with a stunning view - so peaceful and relaxing and the shower was to die for. So much better than staying in town and well worth the short drive out to Mt Barker Farmstay. A perfect base for daytrips around the region - thank you our lovely host, we appreciated the beautiful environment and quiet downtime.
