The Bay House · Lakefront, amazing views, spa & 5 min walk to town | House in Queenstown

Welcome to The Bay House. Guests love this absolute lakefront and central Queenstown location, boasting breathtaking views, and an easy 5-minute stroll to town.
VIEWS:
An outstanding front row seat of stunning Lake Wakatipu, the Remarkables, Cecil Peak and Walter Peak. No need for guests to draw straws here as all three bedrooms showcase beautiful lake views!
LOCATION:
The phrase location, location, location is truly appropriate for The Bay House! Centrally located on Park Street in Queenstown’s locally known ‘dress circle’ this is about as close to town as you can get. Yet still a quiet street with little traffic other than a plethora of cyclists, runners and walkers sharing the popular Frankton Track. The track begins at the end of the street and takes you along the lakefront all the way to Kelvin Heights and even Jack's Point if you're up for an adventure (grab a bike for that one!). The Bay House is right on the water's edge of Lake Wakatipu. A quick five-minute walk along the shore and you're in the heart of town, strolling through the Queenstown Gardens.
