The house is not only in a secluded spot with stunning views it is packed full of features from its spa pool, sauna, fire pit, outdoor deck to its bath with a view, separate work area and access to the lake (via a bush walk). Interaction Someone from The Butler is just a phone call away. There is a detailed inhouse compendium for you to use. Neighborhood Located just 15 minutes from Queenstown Airport. Drift Bay House is in a very quiet and private area surrounded by native bush and close to the waters edge. You can see the Wye Creek Waterfall from the driveway of the house so for those who like to hike/explore the Wye Creek waterfall track is close by. Access No children or infants allowed sorry You have full access to the house excluding the garage (although there is a carport for your vehicle) and a couple of locked owners cupboards. Guests do not have access to the garage only the carport. Space If it is peace and quiet you are after then look no further than Drift Bay House. As you walk up the path to the house the first thing that will catch your eye is the architecture and the fact that there are two parts to the home. The 2nd thing being the bird songs. On your left you have the main house. Inside the main house on the ground floor you have a full bathroom which includes the laundry, kitchen, open plan lounge & dining area and a separate "winter room" with fireplace. Upstairs there is the master bedroom with a bathroom that can be closed off to make it an ensuite if required. A separate Queen room, bunk room with 2 sets of wooden bunk beds and then across the walkway is another bathroom and bedroom. Lots of space for everyone. The right hand building has a bedroom, bathroom with wet shower and sauna, small kitchenette and large work desk for those who have to work while on holiday. As you can see from the photos there is a lovely deck area that opens off the main lounge area where you can choose to dine or just relax on the sun lounges. There is also a separate courtyard off the kitchen that has a fire pit surrounded by comfortable outdoor furniture. This is the perfect place for a friends getaway, elopement or adult retreat with its ability to sleep up to 12 people. Transit You will need a vehicle to stay a the house as there is no public transport. 15 minutes heading south from Queenstown airport. 750 metres (11 minute walk) to the Wye Creek Track 21.6km to downtown Queenstown Notes Adults only - sorry no children (under 16) or infants. Some of the decking areas have a drop higher than 1m. Our water is from a tank not town supply so we appreciate you taking this into consideration and preserve water where possible. We are on a Septic tank system so care to be taken to ensure you only flush the 3P's and not wipes or sanitary items. We have covered parking via our carport for 1 vehicle and parking on the driveway for 1-2 vehicles. House Rules No parties or loud music. No smoking or vaping. No children or infants. Must be left tidy with dishes done and rubbish in the bins. Rubbish to be put out on Thursday for collection on Friday.
