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.

Another lovely stay in the house with a view
I have now stayed at this property twice with friends and it’s a fantastic base for exploring Queenstown and surrounds. We always find an excuse to head back to the house to watch the evening light over the Remarkables.

As a holiday home host, I know just what needs to be done to make a property perfect for guests. And Chrissy does all of that and more. From the wine and biscuits, quality linen, super clean throughout, this place has it all. Highly recommended!

Perfect Family Ski Holiday
We (family of 5) had a wonderful break staying in this property for 8 days. It was close to the airport, town centre, ski fields and all the other local attractions. Chrissy sent through lots of great information on places to visit. There were so many extras provided in the home and it was very well furnished with new carpets and luxury bedding. Would highly recommend.

Birthday Celebration in Queenstown
Had a wonderful stay in Queenstown. Our hosts Chrissy and Julie were terrific both pre and during our stay. Communication was first class as was the accommodation. We had 6 adults who were comfortably accommodated in 3 large bedrooms. The house itself is roomy and wonderfully located - away from the hustle and bustle of the city but only a short taxi drive away when needed. Taxis are plentiful and reliable. I’d absolutely recommend this accommodation for anyone considering a trip to beautiful Queenstown

A home away from home
We felt at home as soon as we stepped into this lovely house. The beds were beautifully comfy and warm and the place had everything we needed, not to mention the fantastic view of the Remarkables Mountain Ranges from every window. Chrissy was a delight to deal with and we will definitely book in again next time!

Lovely house, great location
The house is just lovely with everything you’d need. The furnishings are gorgeous and everything is is excellent condition. The owner was easy to communicate with and very accomodating telling us everything we’d need to know. We even got Easter eggs which was so sweet! We can’t wait to return.

Fabulous stay
We had a lovely and very comfortable stay at Goldfields Gem. Fabulous view. Extremely clean, quiet property, with very comfortable beds with high quality linen. The house was less than a ten minute drive from Queenstown. Easy access to a bus service into Queenstown at the bottom of the hill. Chrissy (the owner)was very welcoming, helpful and informative. Just one comment...... the local Sherwood restaurant dinner was extremely disappointing, (overpriced with a very limited menu selection and the food was of poor quality).

Perfect Spot in Queenstown!
We stayed for five nights (two adult couples) and the lodging was perfect! Of the three places we’ve stayed in Queenstown in the past year, this was by far the best. Very clean, no heavy cleaning smells or pest product smells, comfortable beds, beautiful views, and a well stocked kitchen. Extra linens and blankets were provided which was greatly appreciated. Communication with the hosts was very clear and thoughtful. The check-in and check out procedure were very easy, too. The only thing to note is that guests have to climb a set of stairs to get into the house, so if someone has mobility issues, it wouldn’t be a good choice. The neighborhood is very quiet and parking was easy. We will absolutely stay again if we are lucky enough to return to Queenstown.

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