Mountain views - Amberley Retreat
Summary:
Amberley Retreat, Nestled in the mountains on the lower Shotover River, Amberley Retreat is a modern-day slice of alpine paradise. The contemporary home has been carefully crafted to maximise light, space and comfort, and with a single level layout, it really is perfect for the whole family. Vacation heaven starts here.
The Space:
Step into Amberley Retreat, where modern style meets relaxed holiday comfort. Thoughtfully furnished with clean lines, soft tones, and contemporary touches, this single-level home delivers effortless ease for families and friends alike — no stairs, no fuss, just pure relaxation. The open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area is the heart of the home — a bright, airy space designed for connection. Gather around the dining table, cook together in the sleek kitchen, or unwind with a movie on the large flat-screen TV. Sunlight floods the lounge by day, while the bay window makes the perfect nook to curl up with a good book after exploring Queenstown.
Outdoor living is just as inviting. Fire up the BBQ, dine alfresco in the sheltered courtyard, and take in the mountain views stretching toward Coronet Peak. The generous backyard garden offers plenty of room to play, relax, or simply breathe in the alpine air. Practicality hasn’t been forgotten — there’s a full laundry and utility room for post-adventure clean-ups, plus ample parking with a garage and two off-street spaces.

Beautiful family home with view of the Shotover River
This is a beautiful home with a great layout for family living but it also suited us perfectly, a couple with no children. Great entertaining and lounging areas, and we found we did a lot of meals at home. A retreat away from the hustle and bustle of Queenstown but also minutes away.

Amazing view
Fantastic place to stay with family. Lovely and warm through winter. Goodstay looks after the property and the only thing I found off putting was the rubbish collection instructions. $25 per bag is pretty steep if you go over your allocated number of rubbish bags.

Wonderful place with outstanding views
We loved our stay at the Amberly retreat. The house is very comfortable and the views from the living and dining areas and the garden are sublime. The kitchen is very well equipped and it was nice that there were some basics in the pantry like oil, vinegar, tea etc. We were skiing and the fields are all in reasonable distance. The beds were super comfy and we slept really well. We could've stayed much longer and would highly recommend it to others.

Fantastic View And Home
I toyed with finding a place closer to town but I was glad to have settled with the Amberley home.
The single story home is well laid out with the guest bedrooms away from the master so no interaction. The kitchen, dining area and living room all have fabulous views.
The kitchen is well equipped so any type cooking is possible and everything was sparkling clean.
The washer and dryer came in super handy as we normally travel light with only one carry on luggage.
A short five minute drive and there is a nice shopping complex with two markets, lots of restaurants and various retail shops. A minute further is an indoor electric go kart complex for super thrills. The airport is next door so easy in and out.
Downtown is 13-15 minutes away depending on traffic and here again glad to have stayed away from all the walking tourists and traffic.
The neighborhood is upscale with similar custom homes so the area is super safe.
All in all an impressive home that we would not have any hesitation to stay again.

Great location with awesome views and plenty of outside lawn area. The house was perfect inside too.
Was perfect for us not wanting to be in the hub of Queenstown , yet only a short drive away. Close to airport and new shopping centres that have everything, but it feels far away from all
Being on the hillside with acreage viewing Coronet Peak and the Shotover River was amazing.
The house is modern , well equipped and spacious too.
Good temperature inside with the preset underfloor
heating . Used the gas fireplace as well in lounge on a couple of colder evenings .
Will be back for more
