About this property

Goldfields Gem - Stunning 3-bedroom house with panoramic lake and mountain views

Looking for a home away from home? Goldfields Gem is exactly that—the perfect base for your next Queenstown adventure. With stunning views over Lake Wakatipu and the Remarkables mountain range from every room, this three-bedroom house is the ideal place to relax after a day spent skiing, biking, hiking, or sightseeing in New Zealand’s tourism capital.

Goldfields Gem provides the ideal setting to enjoy Queenstown's charm and its array of attractions, all within easy reach, but without the bustle of the town centre. It's positioned perfectly for quick access to The Remarkables and Coronet Peak ski fields, making it a convenient base for winter sports enthusiasts. Additionally, the area's shopping and numerous bike trails are easily accessible. Being just minutes from the heart of Queenstown, you're never far from the wide selection of dining, shopping, and entertainment options that the town has to offer.

To support your adventure-filled stay, we’ve included a secure, lockable storage shed that’s perfect for keeping your bikes and skis safe. The shed can comfortably fit up to four bikes and multiple sets of skis, ensuring your gear is ready and waiting whenever you need it.

Let's start a tour of the house. As you enter the house via the stairs, the heart of the home awaits. The combined living and dining area is likely where you'll spend much of your time. For comfort, there is a heat pump to keep you warm during those chilly evenings, and it doubles up as a cooler during summer.

Relax with a smart TV, which comes with Freeview, our free Neon account, or you can log into your own Netflix or Apple account for personalised entertainment. Fancy a board game? Our selection is on hand for those competitive family moments or chilled evenings.

Every meal at the dining table is paired with those breathtaking vistas. And if you feel like soaking in the scenery a bit closer? The deck awaits. We've provided seating out there, so you can comfortably take in those stunning views.

Next to the living room is the kitchen, which is fully fitted with an oven, gas stove, microwave, toaster, refrigerator, dishwasher, and a French press for that important morning coffee. We make your stay easier with complimentary tea, coffee, and a modest assortment of condiments, including spices and herbal teas.

The master bedroom on the first level offers a comfortable queen bed, its own heating, and an ensuite bathroom equipped with a walk-in shower, underfloor heating, and a heated towel rail. There's also a separate toilet downstairs for added convenience.

Upstairs you will find two more bedrooms. The first bedroom provides a queen bed, while the second gives you the flexibility to have either a king bed or two singles, depending on your needs. Just let us know your preference when you book. These rooms share a bathroom with underfloor heating and a heated towel rail. And to ensure you're always at the right temperature, both bedrooms have heat pumps, offering warmth in winter and cooling in summer.

For your convenience, the home includes a laundry area, equipped with a washing machine, dryer, and complimentary laundry detergent, making it easy to keep your holiday wardrobe fresh during your stay. Onsite, we also provide free parking for two cars and unlimited high-speed fibre internet, ensuring connectivity and ease for all your devices.

For those travelling with little ones, we offer the convenience of a high chair and cot upon request. Should you need any extra services during your visit, we're at your service to make arrangements beforehand, including additional cleaning or linen changes, with the applicable charges provided for your planning ease.

At Goldfields Gem, we strive to provide a memorable stay with all the comforts of home, ensuring your Queenstown holiday is nothing short of remarkable.

A Gem Indeed!

Our family of six thoroughly enjoyed staying at Goldfields Gem. The house is well-appointed and was warm, comfortable, clean and tidy. Great location and stunning views. Chrissy went the extra mile with her super-helpful and informative messages sent ahead of our stay, full of useful information about places to go and things to see and do. This helped to shape our holiday - thank you Chrissy!

Great Queenstown Home

This property had everything we needed, and a few extras, like some interesting books to read. It had a lovely feel, and lovely views over the lake. A bonus was being able to walk to a local restaurant for dinner. This place is well out of central Queenstown so we were not anticipating being able to walk to dinner.

Great location

The family enjoyed our stay at Goldfields Gem. Communication with excellent - any questions were always answered promptly. I particularly liked the location of the house which is about halfway between Queenstown town and the Airport in Frankton. There is also a big shopping complex only a few minutes down the road which was great for supermarket trips for supplies. Highly recommend.

Goldfields Gem

The property met all our needs. We were a group of 5 adults and were comfortable in the house. Beds were comfortable, linen was clean and good quality. Bathrooms were great with heated towel rails and there was even floor heating available which would be great in the winter. The kitchen had everything we needed and the open plan living area including the deck worked well Chrissy,our host, was lovely and looked after us very well.

Queenstown Gem

We had a wonderful week at this property. Great location with a five or so minute drive into town (using the ‘top’ roads 😀) or about $20 each way if you want to taxi. View was world class…it actually took a while for the beauty of it to sink in. Host Chrissy was fantastic, was in touch several times before we arrived making us feel very welcome plus providing some great eating and activity tips and always replied promptly to any questions. Highly recommend this house

I look forward to the privilege of sharing my hometown with you.
