Whakarire

Welcome to 34 Man Street, a beautifully designed property featuring two modern and stylish villas—Whakarire (the main villa, occupying the upper levels) and Waipatiki (located on the ground floor). Whether you're travelling as a couple, family, or larger group, the flexibility to book either villa individually or both together makes this an ideal accommodation option in central Queenstown.



Whakarire, meaning "to relax," truly lives up to its name. Upon entering, you’ll be greeted by sun-drenched interiors and elegant, contemporary design. Large windows frame breathtaking views of Lake Wakatipu and The Remarkables, creating a stunning backdrop throughout the open-plan living and dining area. This space has been thoughtfully designed for social connection, with seamless indoor-outdoor flow that makes it perfect for entertaining or simply unwinding with family and friends.



The modern kitchen is fully equipped with top-of-the-line appliances, ideal for easy entertaining at home—or take advantage of Queenstown’s vibrant dining scene, with restaurants, cafés, and bars just steps away.



Whakarire comfortably accommodates up to 12 guests. The spacious master suite, complete with ensuite, is located on the upper level for added privacy. Two further double bedrooms share a stylish bathroom, while a dedicated bunk room and third bathroom offer a fun and functional space for younger guests or teens.



A separate media room on the top floor provides a cosy retreat for movie nights or downtime, while the outdoor balcony features a private spa pool and seating—perfect for soaking in the alpine scenery.



For larger groups, book both Whakarire and Waipatiki together to sleep up to 18 guests—and enjoy a 10% discount off the standard rate.



Whether you're seeking space, style, or a central location, 34 Man Street delivers a luxurious and flexible base for your Queenstown getaway.
