Hawk House is your sanctuary in Central Otago. | Villa in Queensberry
3 Bedroom Villa in Queensberry
Perched on a serene ridge with sweeping views across Central Otago’s breathtaking landscape, Hawk House—also known as Te Rangi Kahu—is a modern retreat designed for comfort, connection, and calm. Aptly named, the folding rooflines of the main house and adjacent studio resemble a mother and baby hawk with outstretched wings—an architectural nod to the vast skies above.
Celebrated for its innovative design, environmental sensitivity, and masterful craftsmanship, Hawk House was a standout in the 2019 Registered Master Builders House of the Year Awards. Earning multiple accolades, including the prestigious title of Most Outstanding Residential Project in New Zealand, the home was recognized for its exceptional attention to detail, quality of build, and the way it harmonizes with its natural surroundings. Thoughtfully nestled into the hillside and clad in rugged Otago schist, Hawk House offers a subtle tribute to The Lord of the Rings—a modern-day, hobbit-style sanctuary that merges effortlessly with the dramatic Central Otago landscape.
Set in the peaceful hills of Queensberry, this stylish home blends contemporary elegance with the rugged beauty of New Zealand’s South Island. Expansive indoor-outdoor living spaces feature floor-to-ceiling windows that frame panoramic vistas of rolling hills, distant mountains, and wide-open skies. In winter, the St. Bathans Range transforms into a shimmering snow glacier, glowing pink at sunrise and sunset—a breathtaking natural spectacle right from your window.
With three bedrooms and bathrooms in the main house, and an adjacent studio with a sofa bed, Hawk House can comfortably host a group yet remains a tranquil haven for couples. The versatile studio has served as an extra bedroom, a meeting room, a writer’s retreat, and even a yoga space.
Whether you're savouring a glass of local Pinot Noir by the fire or watching hawks glide effortlessly above the valley, Hawk House invites you to slow down and truly take it all in.
With spacious living areas, a fully equipped kitchen, cozy bedrooms, and thoughtful touches throughout, it’s the perfect base for couples, families, or small groups exploring nearby Wānaka, Cromwell, and the many lakes, trails, and vineyards that make this region unforgettable.
Come for the views. Stay for the peace. Hawk House is your sanctuary in Central Otago.
