Alpine Wellness Hideaway

Tucked into the serene enclave of Lake Hayes, this exquisitely designed private residence is a sanctuary of health, wellness, and elevated living. Architecturally refined and recently renovated inside and out, the home offers an immersive retreat experience that blends natural beauty with curated luxury. Panoramic views of The Remarkables and surrounding alpine landscapes form a breathtaking backdrop to this thoughtfully appointed haven, where privacy and tranquility take center stage.

Every detail of the residence has been considered for both aesthetic appeal and restorative function. The heart of the home is its indoor-outdoor living space—framed by expansive, tinted sliding glass doors—where a snug lounge and alfresco dining area seamlessly extend into the wild beauty beyond. An outdoor fireplace invites evenings beneath the stars, while the cedar sauna, Onsen-style hot tub, and private ice bath create a spa-like atmosphere that promotes deep relaxation and rejuvenation. Whether welcoming the golden light of morning or basking in firelight at dusk, the outdoor elements are essential to the home's peaceful rhythm.

Inside, the home is a masterclass in character and craft. An art-lined hallway featuring iconic Goldie prints leads to a hidden wine cellar, cleverly concealed behind a custom library wall filled with antique books and curiosities. The four uniquely styled bedrooms—each with top-tier Sleepyhead mattresses and velvet headboards in rich jewel tones—offer sumptuous comfort and versatility for families, couples, or groups seeking a quiet escape. From the intimate Master Black Suite to the generous Peacock Suite and the playful Emerald Green bunk room, every space is curated with both design and function in mind.

Surrounded by the natural majesty of the Otago region, the home offers an ideal base to explore Queenstown’s renowned adventures. In winter, world-class skiing is just a short drive away, while summer invites lakeside strolls, wine tasting, and cycling through stunning vineyard country. Nearby Arrowtown charms with its gold-rush heritage, while Queenstown’s vibrant culinary and cultural scene ensures there's always something to discover, from jet-boating on the Shotover River to browsing local art galleries.

Balancing architectural elegance with immersive wellness experiences, this Lake Hayes retreat is more than just a home—it is a destination of its own. Here, life slows down, senses awaken, and meaningful memories are made in one of New Zealand’s most picturesque corners.
