Retro Retreat - Queenstown Holiday Home

This well-appointed holiday option is ideal for a Kiwi bach stay, including cosy living, spacious decking, and views to the lake and mountains!

This 2-storey Queenstown holiday home includes tidy and comfortable open-plan living downstairs — enjoy the easy indoor/outdoor flow, where you can open the floor-to-ceiling glass and gather for dinner with a lovely outlook, or set-up on the deck with the BBQ on hand to complete your iconic Kiwi experience.

The generous deck is an ideal spot to admire the bush surrounds, with views through to the lake and mountains beyond. Additional decking is available at the front of the house, ensuring ample room for your group to find their favourite spot.

Retro Retreat features two comfortable bedrooms on the ground floor, one with a double bed, the other a queen. Upstairs, accessed by a spiral staircase, is a spacious master bedroom offering a balcony, with beautiful mountain views, and a queen bed plus two single beds ideal for children. The home is complete with a full bathroom upstairs and a downstairs bathroom with separate toilet, ensuring convenience for families or groups.

Stay on site and spend time with your group, stroll into town just minutes away for an awesome selection of shopping and dining options, or set out on an adventure. Vineyard tours, bungy jumping, hiking and cycling along the lakeside, and the Shotover River are just some of the many fantastic options for those keen to stay active.

Retro Retreat in Queenstown has you covered for your Southern Lakes stay!

We stayed here with 3 young kids and loved it. There was plenty of space inside and outside for them to play and for us to use. We could walk in and out of town, with amazing views and on a quiet street. Would love to stay there again

Queenstown House with wonderful view

This was a very roomy house for 6 people. It is a little dated and the curtains need replacing but it has a lot of character and is well positioned and well provisioned for our group. We had a very enjoyable stay.

A cosy step back in time

We wanted a cosy place for Christmas and this place was perfect for this! It was a step back to 60/70s which suited our family perfectly, lots of memories of our Grandfathers home which made it extra special. A few things that needed support with and the management team where quick and efficient it didn't effect our stay at all.

Stay in Queenstown

We loved our stay here! It had great views and was a short beautiful walk into town. We loved the home itself as well, it was very comfortable and we felt right at home. Thank you for having us! *There was an incident with one of the wineglasses. It broke while I was trying to wash it. We are so sorry! I wasn't sure how to communicate this since I couldn't find a way to communicate with the host.

Manual booking not organised

I did manual booking through the phone and was assure it was all good, with several emails confirming. However that day the property manager was not aware we were arriving and the house wasnt ready. The description was accurate, close to town but I was not aware of the steep hill to get there walking. First time in Queenstown so I didnt know about this. The house was clean but not deeply clean as expected. However beds were comfortable and heating system was perfect, showers and all. Would recommended yes but the booking system has its fails.
