Still lake at dusk with a lone tree and snow-capped Southern Alps beyond

Lakeside cabins · Closeburn, near Queenstown

Small cabins by the lake, big mountains beyond

Five timber cabins on a quiet shoreline. Wake to still water, watch the Alps turn pink at dusk, and have the evening entirely to yourself.

The place

A quiet corner of the Southern Alps

Few cabins, a lot of space, and Queenstown only ten minutes away. Everything here is built around one view: the lake in front, the mountains behind it.

  • On the lakeshore

    Step from your deck to the water. Swim, paddle or just sit and watch.

  • Mountain horizon

    Snow-capped Alpine peaks across the lake, changing with every hour of light.

  • Self-contained

    Kitchen, linen, heating and Wi-Fi in every cabin. Arrive with groceries and nothing else.

  • Peaceful by design

    Just five cabins on the whole site, so it stays calm, private and unhurried.

Good to know

Questions, answered

How do we get there?

We are at 573 Glenorchy-Queenstown Road, Closeburn, about 10 minutes’ drive from central Queenstown along the lake. A car is recommended, and full directions come with your booking confirmation.

Can we bring children or pets?

Children are very welcome. Please ask us about pets before booking, as it depends on the cabin.

What is the cancellation policy?

A 30% deposit confirms your booking. Cancel more than 30 days before arrival (60 days between 20 December and 31 January) and you get back everything except the deposit. Full details are in our booking terms.

Is there a shop nearby?

The cabins are self-contained, so we suggest stopping for groceries on the way. We can recommend the best places when you book.

Is it open in winter?

Yes. Snow on the peaks is part of the view, and the wood burner makes the cabins cosy. Check the road conditions before you travel.
