    This property is lake front and few meters away from town. We loved the location as everything is walking distance and no uphill walk for the oldies :). The lounge area is quite big with veranda overlooking the lake. Very homy and cozy.

    The apartment is very spacious and with a gorgeous view of Lake Wakatipu, Walter Peak and Queenstown Gardens. It seems newly redecorated with nice carpets, clean painted walls and nice French windows. The heater works well and rooms are quiet....
