Queenstown Holiday Apartments
Our Queenstown holiday apartments are ideal for the independent traveller looking for clean, comfortable and stylish studio, one and two bedroom accommodation. Just five minutes walk from the heart of Queenstown, our fully self-contained apartments are designed for you to make the most of your precious holiday time.
Regardless of when you are planning your Central Otago holiday, the Highview Apartments have the amenities and location for you to take advantage of whatever season you wish to visit Queenstown. Of course Queenstown's reputation has been built as the premiere ski destination in New Zealand with four superb ski fields nearby, but summer in Queenstown is also an excellent time to visit. The pristine waters of Lake Wakatipu present some very attractive opportunities for water sports enthusiasts, and keen freshwater anglers can have their fun on a charter, or fly fishing on one of the feeder rivers.
The in-between seasons are also an attractive time to see Queenstown. The autumnal colours of umber, ochre and sienna are spectacular against the sparkling blue waters of the lakes. Equally, the blossoms in spring punctuate the sky with optimism.
For our winter guests, amenities include a drying and secure storage room for wet weather and snow gear. This means our apartments experience less wear and tear with sports equipment stored against the wall, wax on the floors and damp and soggy clothes over furniture. The upside for our guests is that the living areas remain uncluttered of gear, with the knowledge that their snow clothes will be dry in the morning, and equipment is safely and securely stored. Of course, we have also considered maintenance for our guests too, with a private outdoor spa for guests to gently soothe post-ski field aches. Two bedroom apartments also include a full-length bath to relax after a gruelling day on the snow.
