From this vantage point, you'll be able to feast your eyes on a postcard-perfect panorama of some of Queenstown's most iconic landmarks, including Lake Wakatipu, the Remarkables, Cecil Peak, Walter Peak, and even the Kelvin Heights Golf Course. It is an experience that will leave you in awe and remind you why this part of the world is renowned for its natural beauty.
LOCATION:
A peaceful retreat, yet still so convenient! Lakehouse Joela is positioned so close to the lake that you can hear the waves lapping and watch the boats zipping past. Guests love being only a 15-minute flat stroll away from central Queenstown. At the bottom of the private driveway is the popular Frankton Walkway track – fantastic for running, biking, or walking. This prestigious Park Street address is highly coveted, providing the ideal balance of seclusion, awe-inspiring landscapes, and the convenience of being near town.

This architecturally designed 430 square metre home has striking angles, impressive heights, and beautiful natural elements. With its commissioned New Zealand artwork as well as luxurious European furniture, Lakehouse Joela is uniquely fascinating.

Luxurious and spacious, this home provides groups ample space to spread out.

A grand gas fireplace sits between the living, dining, and kitchen, so that the warmth and ambience can be enjoyed from all corners.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Lakehouse Joela. The property is even more beautiful than the photos — peaceful, well-maintained, and surrounded by nature. Waking up to the lake views each morning was such a treat, and the space was perfect for relaxing and reconnecting as a family. The house itself is stylish, cozy, and thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed. You can tell the hosts really care about their guests’ experience — from the little touches around the house to the clear and helpful communication before and during our stay. We especially loved spending time outdoors, whether it was enjoying a quiet morning coffee on the deck or stargazing at night. It truly felt like a retreat. Highly recommend Lakehouse Joela for anyone looking for a calm, beautiful escape. We’d love to come back again!

Lakehouse Joela exceeded our expectations—it was even better than the photos! An absolutely stunning home with plenty of space, making it perfect for our two families. The house had everything we needed, and the communication was excellent throughout our stay. The views were next level, and while the walk to town was a little longer than expected, the location was still fantastic. We did a lot of research before booking, and we’re so glad we chose Lakehouse Joela. Highly recommend! If I had to be picky, there wasn’t air conditioning downstairs or in the bedrooms, but it wasn’t hot, so it didn’t affect our enjoyment. Overall, a wonderful experience!
