**Awarded 2018 Winner of 'Indulgence GOLD Bach of the Year'**

VIEWS: Prepare to be captivated by the breath-taking, uninterrupted views of the lake and mountains that lie directly in front of you. From this vantage point, you'll be able to feast your eyes on a postcard-perfect panorama of some of Queenstown's most iconic landmarks, including Lake Wakatipu, the Remarkables, Cecil Peak, Walter Peak, and even the Kelvin Heights Golf Course. It is an experience that will leave you in awe and remind you why this part of the world is renowned for its natural beauty.

LOCATION: A peaceful retreat, yet still so convenient! Lakehouse Joela is positioned so close to the lake that you can hear the waves lapping and watch the boats zipping past. Guests love being only a 15-minute flat stroll away from central Queenstown. At the bottom of the private driveway is the popular Frankton Walkway track – fantastic for running, biking, or walking. This prestigious Park Street address is highly coveted, providing the ideal balance of seclusion, awe-inspiring landscapes, and the convenience of being near town.

STYLE: This new architecturally designed 430 square metre home has striking angles, impressive heights, and beautiful natural elements. With its commissioned New Zealand artwork as well as luxurious European furniture, Lakehouse Joela is uniquely fascinating. The house has feature lighting throughout, a spectacular chandelier at the entrance, colourful pendants at the bedsides and bold pendants in the living and dining. Luxurious and spacious, this home provides groups ample space to spread out.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION: Please be aware that a new property has been built next door. It is nearly completed, so there may still be some tradesmen on site using the shared driveway. When making a booking, please ensure you acknowledge that you are aware of this and if you have any concerns prior to booking, please contact us.

BEDROOMS & BATHROOMS: All five bedrooms each with private ensuite have been designed to offer the utmost comfort, thoughtfully equipped with either built-in or walk-in wardrobes, ensuring ample storage space for your belongings. Floor-to-ceiling windows grace each room, allowing an abundance of natural light and breath-taking views. Four of these have lake views, bedrooms 3 and 4 are lakeside with peaceful uninterrupted outlook, whilst the Master and bedroom 2 give a south facing perspective.

The elegant ensuite bathrooms are fully equipped with underfloor heating and rain head showers. There is also a convenient separate guest toilet on the main level. Additionally, the master ensuite is a luxurious retreat, where you can enjoy a magnificent lake view centre stage as you soak in the freestanding bathtub.

A grand gas fireplace sits between the living, dining, and kitchen, so that the warmth and ambience can be enjoyed from all corners. This open plan space is filled with natural light, thanks to the high ceilings, expansive windows, and sliding doors that allow for seamless indoor-outdoor flow and a bright and welcoming atmosphere, perfect for entertaining or relaxing with family and friends.

THE GREAT OUTDOORS: Enjoy the great outdoors with four distinct outdoor spaces that offer different views and amenities. Relax and unwind in your own private spa pool or have an après ski with friends around the outdoor gas fire, sheltered from the wind at the back of the property. Dine late into the evening on the sunny lake facing deck; there is an outdoor hooded BBQ, and the table has seating for 10 comfortably. Queenstown enjoys a late sunset at around 10pm in the height of the summer season. The main deck of the house is accessed from the kitchen and the living room and has a true “wow” factor for showcasing the alpine setting.

Expansive throughout
The property is breathtaking as it looks out to the Lake Wakatipu and the Remarkables. We hired another property on the same street so had 20 people total (10 in each house), and were able to use this property to gather and eat together, workshop together and have good conversations looking over the lake. We were able to hire a private chef who made the experience even more abundant and expansive. All the beds are super comfy, the sauna and spa are amazing, and the views from the front rooms made us want to sleep with the blinds up so we woke up to the view. Overall perfect.

Great property but the real standout is the company managing it.
This property suited our group of nine perfectly with just the right amount of bedrooms and bathrooms. The company managing this property were the best we have ever experienced with every minor issue taken care of efficiently and without fuss. The views from most rooms are stunning and changed hour by hour. The only issue we had was the building works happening a few doors down which meant the already tight drive was narrowed by building trucks, this is obviously a short term problem. If we owned the property we would have an outside table and chairs on the stunning central deck. It would have got a lot of use. The outside table on the other side did not get used though we did take advantage of the outside seating next to the outside gas fire. We will return!!!
