Lakefront Retreat 8 mins from Queenstown | Bikes, Beach & Bush | Apartment in Queenstown
2 Bedroom Apartment in Closeburn, Queenstown
Stay somewhere that feels a world away — yet just 8 minutes from downtown Queenstown.
Set on the shores of Lake Wakatipu and surrounded by native bush, this peaceful two-bedroom retreat offers a rare combination of privacy, nature, and direct access to some of the best outdoor experiences in the region. Backing directly onto the Seven Mile Mountain Bike Park and just a short walk to Wilsons Bay, it’s the perfect base for adventure — or simply switching off.
Wake to birdsong, with fantails, tūī and kererū moving through the trees. A small stream runs through the property, adding to the sense of calm and separation from the busyness of town. Step outside and you’re immediately connected to walking trails, forest, lake access, and world-class riding — without needing to get in the car.
And when you do want Queenstown, it’s only a short 7–8 minute drive along the iconic Glenorchy-Queenstown road.
