About This Property

Sitting on the southern shore of Lake Wakatipu at Kawarau Village, the Hilton Queenstown occupies one of the more enviable positions in the region. The Remarkables rise directly across the water, Coronet Peak sits to the north, and the low-key marina precinct keeps things quieter than the town centre buzz — yet Queenstown's restaurants and bars are a short drive or water taxi ride away. Peninsula Road curves along the lake edge here, and the hotel makes full use of its frontage: the water feels genuinely close, not just visible from a rooftop.
