Red Peaks – Winter Escape with Lake and Mountain Views

**Summary**
Wake up to lake and mountain views from every room — then step outside, turn left, and catch the bus to town and ski-field in 60 seconds. Red Peaks is a warm, spacious, light-filled home at the town end of Fernhill, 6 minutes from Queenstown’s town centre and walking distance to great local cafes, fish and chips, and the Wynyard Bike Park. Ideal for families, friend groups, and anyone who wants a proper home base rather than a cramped apartment.

**Interaction**
Red Peaks is managed by The Butler, a local Queenstown team with over 11 years of hosting experience and more than 1,800 five-star reviews across their properties. We’re available by phone throughout your stay and typically respond within the hour. If you need restaurant recommendations, activity bookings, or local advice, we’re genuinely happy to help — that’s what we’re here for.

**Neighborhood**
Fernhill is one of Queenstown’s most convenient residential neighbourhoods — close enough to walk or bus into town, quiet enough for a restful sleep. Red Peaks sits at the town end of Fernhill, which means the best of both worlds: a residential street with mountain views, and everything you need on your doorstep.

150 metres west: Fernhill Dairy, the famously good Chur Fish & Chip Shop, Lokal Kitchen & Bar, and Nest Kitchen + Bar. On a tired ski day, dinner is a two-minute walk.
50 metres east: the bus stop, with services to Queenstown CBD and the ski fields every 15 minutes.
250 metres further: Fernhill Reserve, with a children’s playground, picnic area, and trailhead access to the Fernhill walking tracks and the internationally recognised Wynyard Bike Park.

**Access**
Red Peaks is entirely yours. You have full private access to the house, both outdoor spaces (deck and garden), the lockable storage shed, and both parking spaces. The Butler team is available by phone throughout your stay and will respond within the hour.

**The Space**
The house
Red Peaks is a warm, generous home designed for groups who want to spend quality time together. The open-plan living and dining area are genuinely enjoyable spaces to relax together in. Panoramic windows frame Lake Wakatipu and the mountains — the kind of view you keep stopping to look at while you’re doing other things.

The newly built deck extends the living space outside, with a full BBQ setup, dining table, and casual seating — all facing the view. Below, the landscaped garden gives kids room to run and guests space to spread out.
Kitchen & living
The kitchen is properly equipped for a group: full appliances, four bar stools at the island, both a Nespresso machine and a filter coffee maker, and a laundry room next door with access to the storage shed. The living room has a cosy reading nook under the stairs with a sheepskin beanbag.

Bedrooms (sleeps up to 8)
Master bedroom (downstairs): king bed, lake views, private access to the renovated bathroom with freestanding bath
Bedroom 2 (upstairs): king bed — can be split into two singles on request — desk with lake views
Bedroom 3 (upstairs): king bed — can be split into two singles on request — desk with lake views

Ski & adventure storage
One of Red Peaks’ most popular features: a large, lockable storage shed with power, lighting, and e-bike charging — big enough for up to 8 bikes or full ski gear. No lugging boards through the house, no boots left on the doorstep. Covered off-street parking is included.

Good to know before you book
The internal stairs are steeper than usual — worth knowing if you’re travelling with very young children or guests with mobility needs.
The garden is unfenced, so supervision is needed for toddlers.
The two upstairs single beds on the landing are available for groups of 7–8 but must be pre-arranged at the time of booking — they’re not set up by default.

House Rules:
Check-in from 3:00 pm · Checkout by 10:00 am
Maximum 8 guests — please don’t exceed this number
No parties or events. Music and outdoor areas to be kept quiet after 10:00 pm out of respect for neighbours.
No smoking inside the house at any time.
No drones on or around the property.
The booker must be 25 or older and must be staying at the property for the duration of the booking.
Please leave the property tidy: rubbish in the bins, BBQ cleaned after use, and dishes done or in the dishwasher.
