Golden Views: Your Alpine Sanctuary in Queenstown's Adventure Playground

Perched high in the Cardrona Alpine Resort, Golden Views offers more than just a place to sleep—it delivers a quintessential Central Otago experience. Located at 20 Golden Terrace, this self-contained apartment is the perfect base for travellers seeking a blend of mountain serenity and easy access to Queenstown's famed adrenaline and scenery.

A Home with a View True to its name, the apartment’s greatest asset is its breathtaking balcony vista. Whether sipping morning coffee or enjoying a local Pinot Noir at dusk, the panoramic outlook over the rugged peaks and valleys is unforgettable. The interior is designed for comfort and practicality, featuring a fully-equipped kitchen with an oven, stove, microwave, and even a dishwasher—ideal for preparing meals after a day on the slopes or trails. The inclusion of a washer adds convenience for longer stays. Thoughtful touches like quality bed linens, towels, free toiletries, and underfloor heating ensure a cosy retreat. While there is no on-site parking, the trade-off is a peaceful, traffic-free environment where the focus is entirely on the landscape.

Why Stay Here? Golden Views excels for its location and autonomy. It places you in the heart of a world-class ski field in winter and a hiking paradise in summer, away from the bustle of central Queenstown yet only a scenic 35-minute drive away. The apartment’s comprehensive facilities allow you to live at your own pace, making it superb for families, couples, or small groups. The commitment to a entirely non-smoking environment ensures freshness throughout.

Three Must-Visit Local Attractions

• Cardrona Alpine Resort: Literally on your doorstep. In winter, it offers superb skiing and snowboarding for all levels with excellent snow conditions. In summer, the slopes transform into mountain biking heaven, with the iconic Cardrona Bike Park providing thrilling downhill trails. Don't miss a meal at the historic Cardrona Hotel nearby for rustic charm and hearty fare.

• The Remarkables Ski Field: A short drive from your base, this iconic mountain range offers another spectacular ski area with terrain for everyone. Its north-facing slopes catch the sun beautifully, and the view from the top across Lake Wakatipu is worth the journey alone. Even in summer, the road up presents incredible photo opportunities.

• Wanaka & Lake Wanaka: Venture approximately 40 minutes north to discover the slightly quieter gem of Wanaka. Stroll along the pristine shores of Lake Wanaka, get creative at Puzzling World, or embark on one of the region's famous day hikes like Roy's Peak for an unforgettable panoramic reward. It’s the perfect contrast to Queenstown’s high-energy vibe.

Ideal for self-sufficient travellers who prioritise scenery and location, Golden Views is more than accommodation—it’s your gateway to the Southern Alps’ best adventures.
