Oaks Club Resort

You don't have to join any sort of club to stay here. These new(ish) suits are some of the newest rooms in Queenstown - only a few years and still have the feel of new. The views of the lake and mountains out the front floor to ceiling windows are breathtaking. Gas fireplaces to snuggle up beside and balconies to relax on in the summer months. The rooms themselves have a huge amount of versatility - you can rent the full three bedroom suite or they can simply lock off some of the rooms within and you pay for what you need. The furnishings are modern and upmarket - yet still comfortable and cosy. Located a 5min drive down the lake from town it's a pleasant 20min walk into the action. If you don't have your own transport, or don't fancy a hike, the local bus stops right out front - too easy.

If you're looking for a modern, sleekly designed and aesthetic up market hotel option; the Oaks Club is a great choice. Located a few minutes drive from the centre of Queenstown, the Oaks Club sits right on the shores of Lake Wakatipu offering commanding views of the surrounding mountains. While that five minute drive might put some off - especially those intent upon getting around Queenstown by foot, those seeking something a but quieter will appreciate the relative peace and quite the distance affords. The rooms themselves are awash with modern touches and are a credit to the current clean-line-design aesthetic that flows through the newer properties in Queenstown. This is a great option for discerning travelers who have their own transport and are looking to balance the pace of Queenstown with the relaxation of the surroundings.
