Location
Goldfields Gem gives you quick access to Queenstown’s attractions without the bustle of the town centre. Goldfields Heights is a quiet residential suburb with an elevated position, which is exactly why the views are so good. It is conveniently located between Queenstown and Queenstown International Airport, and it is a great base for ski days and outdoor adventures. A car is recommended to make getting around easy.

Drive times
- Queenstown Airport (ZQN): around 10 minutes
- Queenstown Gardens: around 10 minutes

For ski days, Coronet Peak is around a 30 minute drive, The Remarkables is around a 45 minute drive, and Cardrona is around 1 hour 20 minutes.

Secure gear storage
If you are bringing outdoor gear, the property includes a secure, lockable storage shed that is ideal for skis and bikes. It can fit up to four bikes and multiple sets of skis, so your gear is protected and ready to go.

A tour of the house
As you enter the home via stairs, you will find the heart of the home on the main level. The home is split across two levels.

The combined living and dining area is likely where you will spend much of your time, with those panoramic lake and mountain views as the backdrop. There is a heat pump to keep you warm during winter evenings, and it also provides cooling in summer.

Settle in with the smart TV and Freeview. If you feel like a quiet night in, there are board games on hand for relaxed evenings. When the weather is kind, step out onto the deck and enjoy the view with a coffee in the morning or a wine in the evening.

Next to the living room is the kitchen, which is fully equipped for cooking at home. It includes an oven, gas hob, microwave, toaster, fridge, dishwasher, and a French press for that important morning coffee. You are welcome to help yourself to tea and coffee, along with a starter set of pantry basics for simple meals.

The master bedroom on the main level has a comfortable queen bed, its own heating, and an ensuite bathroom with a walk-in shower. There is also a separate toilet downstairs for added convenience.

Upstairs you will find two more bedrooms. One has a queen bed. The other can be set up as a king bed or two singles, depending on what your group needs. Please tell us your preference when you book so we can have it ready for your arrival.

These upstairs rooms share a bathroom. Both bedrooms also have heating/cooling via heat pumps, so you stay comfortable year-round.

For longer stays and outdoor trips, the house includes a laundry with a washing machine and dryer, which makes it easy to keep gear and clothing fresh during your visit.

Onsite, there is free parking for two cars and unlimited Wi-Fi for all your devices.

Travelling with children
For families travelling with little ones, a high chair and portacot are available free of charge. Please let us know when you book so we can have them set up.

Local tip: Sherwood is about a 15 minute walk away via a shortcut and is a local favourite for coffee, brunch or dinner.

Goldfields Gem is set up for comfort, views, and easy access to everything Queenstown offers. We look forward to hosting you.

About the host

Hosted by Chrissy S

Host profile image
Queenstown has been home for around 20 years and I know the region well. Outside of work I am usually skiing, hiking, trail running, biking, or exploring the local tracks and trails. I have also worked in the local wine tourism industry, so I am happy to share recommendations for walks, trails, day trips, and Central Otago food and wine to suit your group and the season. I aim to make every stay straightforward and comfortable, and I am easy to reach if you need anything.

Why they chose this property

Goldfields Heights is a great base because it is quiet and elevated, with a more relaxed feel than staying right in the centre of town. You still get easy access to central Queenstown, Frankton and the airport, so it is simple to head out for skiing, hiking, biking, lake activities, and day trips around the region. After a busy day, it is also nice to come back to a peaceful neighbourhood away from the bustle.

What makes this property unique

Goldfields Gem combines panoramic lake and mountain views with the practical comforts that make a Queenstown stay easy. You get Lake Wakatipu and Remarkables views from every room, plus year-round comfort with heat pumps and warm bathrooms (underfloor heating and heated towel rails). It is also ideal for ski and bike trips, with free parking, a fully equipped kitchen, laundry facilities, and a lockable storage shed for skis and bikes. For nights in, there is a Smart TV with Freeview, complimentary Neon access, and board games. Maps and local information are provided, and I am happy to share local tips if you would like ideas for your stay.
