Highview Retreat
Highview Retreat is a large, upscale, well-appointed holiday home with million dollar views over Lake Wakatipu and the Remarkables mountain range. Perfect for celebrations with family and friends, such as anniversary or special birthday with lots of room for everyone, and a gorgeous backdrop for photographs. Relax in our 5 person spa overlooking the lake and mountains after a busy day of activities! There are two living areas complete with fireplaces and TVs, and two fully fitted kitchen-dining areas with large dining tables. (perfect for two families holidaying together or for parents to take a break from kids). With 7 bedrooms and 6.5 bathrooms everyone has a space to relax and rejuvenate.
We are located in a safe and beautiful neighbourhood of St Andrews on the Queenstown Hills, which is a short and easy drive or bus ride to both Queenstown CBD and Frankton, where the airport is. You can drive around easily or take the bus from the nearby bus stop. You may also enjoy a leisurely stroll on many beautiful tracks close by.
