The space

The Loft offers a stylish, studio-style escape set across two levels in a stunning rural alpine location. Please note that The Loft is a strictly adults-only retreat due to the stairs. This unique space is designed for comfort and features spectacular views of the surrounding mountains.

The layout is split across two levels connected by stairs. The downstairs area features a practical mudroom, full laundry facilities, and a modern bathroom with luxurious underfloor heating.

Upstairs, the open-plan living area includes a fully equipped kitchen, a breakfast bar, and the master bedroom. This upper level is kept perfectly warm with efficient gas heating. Furthermore, guests enjoy complete privacy with their own dedicated access and private parking. For entertainment, The Loft provides a Smart TV and high-speed Wi-Fi, making it the perfect sanctuary after a day of exploration.

Guest Reviews from the Village

Every stay leaves a trace. These reflections offer a glimpse into the moments that matter most to our guests.

Super cozy little house with a great plot of land in a fantastic location above the vineyards at Kawarau Gorge. The facilities are excellent and the bed is one of the most comfortable I have ever slept in!

Our family had an enjoyable and wonderful stay here. The cottage is very lovely, cosy and comfortable. We love the location and the view from the cottage.

Yin Yin – Airbnb 2025

Beautiful and peaceful rural location with mountain views, close to the Bungee Centre, wineries and cycle track. Only a short, easy drive from Queenstown and Arrowtown. Neil was a very friendly, helpful and understanding host. We’d happily stay again!
