Perched on the hillside above Queenstown, Fernhill offers travellers a peaceful retreat with breathtaking views of Lake Wakatipu and surrounding mountains. Winding roads lead to modern holiday homes nestled among native bush, where floor-to-ceiling windows frame postcard-perfect panoramas. Walking trails start right from your doorstep, connecting you to the popular Ben Lomond Track for more adventurous hikes. You'll need to venture into city centre Queenstown for dining and shopping, just a short drive down the hill. Most accommodation feature upscale holiday rentals with gourmet kitchens and premium amenities like private hot tubs. The steep terrain means having a car is your best bet for getting around.

Most visitors stay in holiday rentals with jaw-dropping views and self-catering kitchens. You'll need wheels to reach Queenstown's restaurants and shops just 10-15 minutes away. The neighborhood's charm lies in its quiet residential vibe and natural beauty rather than tourist attractions or nightlife.

Goldfield Heights

Goldfield Heights offers a serene escape with spectacular views of Lake Wakatipu and surrounding mountains. The residential area connects to the popular Queenstown Hill Time Walk, where native beech forests and alpine trails reward hikers with panoramic vistas. This upscale retreat feels worlds away from city centre bustle yet sits just a 15-minute stroll from Queenstown's attractions. Luxury holiday rentals with floor-to-ceiling windows dominate the accommodation scene here. While you won't find restaurants or shops within the area, city centre Queenstown's dining and retail options are easily accessible by car or rideshare. The steep terrain means a car is handy but not essential for travellers who enjoy scenic walks.
