New private Queenstown accommodation offering unique views of the sun setting behind the mountains and Lake Whakatipu turning to gold.
The view alludes to our name - Wai Uranga - the "setting sun over water"
The ESSENTIALS
A UNIQUE PRIVATE ESCAPE awaits
Your journey starts with a winding mountain road climbing high above Queenstown, until it feels like you've reached the edge of the world.
Tucked within a private residential enclave, Wai Uranga reveals itself slowly — a uniquely crafted two-bedroom alpine cottage framed by schist, native planting, and rare views of Lake Wakatipu.
In winter, Coronet Peak, The Remarkables and Cardrona are all within easy reach —with the nearest ski field only 30 minutes away.
In summer, swap skis for hiking boots and bike trails, or take the day slowly on the deck, high above Lake Whakatipu.
However you spend it, every day ends the same way:
The light drops, the lake catches fire, and you understand the name.
