About this property
The Rata Penthouse - Panoramic Views
- One of the major drawcards of Queenstown holiday homes are breath-taking views, and this Tiers Villa captures some of the area’s most iconic landscapes. The grand windows in the fabulous open plan kitchen, dining and living room frame Lake Whakatipu and The Remarkables mountain range.
Sublime interior finishes and features are indicative of the attention to detail poured into this stunning villa. LED lighting throughout, premium integrated appliances and bespoke cabinetry hint at the contemporary quality that’s on offer. Comfort and warmth are provided for every season with central radiator heating and an attractive feature gas fireplace - both combine to create the perfect controlled climate inside the home.
Unwind after an exciting day adventuring in Queenstown on the private deck with outdoor entertaining and a superb spa pool. The undercover balcony fitted with outdoor heaters is a peaceful place to gaze out upon the glorious panoramas of Queenstown’s iconic soaring peaks at sunset.
Enjoy the convenience and relaxing atmosphere of this boutique development, positioned between Frankton and Queenstown – the two main centres for Queenstown’s active adventure tourism and handy amenities.

A great place to stay, with just a few niggles.
Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Rata Penthouse. Great location, great views and a spacious kitchen/dining/living area. The bedroom and ensuite on the top floor was on the small side, and all bathrooms had a crazy vanity design, where the cabinetry above the basin projected out over at least 50% of the basin. To clean your teeth or have a shave you need to be a contortionist. We had a couple of minor issues with the hot water and dishwasher that were quickly resolved by the property manager. It wasn't perfect, but we'd stay there again.
