Someone from The Butler is just a phone call away.
Red Peaks is well located at the town end of Fernhill. A short walk (150m) to the west is the Fernhill Dairy and Convenience Store, famous Chur Fish & Chip Shop, Lokal Kitchen & Bar, and Nest Kitchen + Bar. Head to the east and you pass the bus stop 50m from the house and a further 200m is the Fernhill Reserve with children’s playground and picnic area, and access to the world famous Fernhill walking tracks and Wynward Bike Park.
Guests have full and private access to the whole house and garden including the new, large, lockable storage shed at the rear of the carport, which is perfect for storing bikes, golf clubs & ski/snow gear.
Red Peaks is a recently renovated, warm and comfortable holiday retreat. The space is light and bright with freshly painted walls and new furnishings.
The living area captures great sun and has beautiful views of the lake and mountains. An extra treat is the cozy reading nook under the stairs which also captures the view and is a perfect spot for enjoying a good book while lounging on the New Zealand sheepskin beanbag.
The living area is connected to the dining area which opens onto the newly built deck. There is art throughout Red Peaks and above the dining table is a large artistic map of the Queenstown area and biking and hiking trails. Whether planning your day over breakfast or debriefing over dinner, this is a lovely addition to your stay.
The deck features a Weber barbeque, outdoor dining for six and casual seating, as well as stunning lake views and mountain views in all directions.
The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need to whip up delicious meals, and the four bar stools around the kitchen bench create a social atmosphere perfect for chatting while dinner is being prepared.
Adjacent to the kitchen is a laundry room and access to the back yard and secure storage shed for sporting gear if required.
The master bedroom is downstairs, off a short hallway which can be closed off offering privacy and peace and quiet. There is a renovated bathroom including freestanding bath adjacent to the bedroom. All the bedrooms are large, have new super comfortable king size beds, wardrobe space and views to the lake.
Upstairs the landing area has two single beds, ideal to use if you have a group of friends not wanting to share beds (these beds are only to be used if pre-arranged with The Butler). The two bedrooms upstairs have desk spaces with lake views and the king beds can be split into singles if required (please advise needs when booking). This means all six guests can have their own beds. The upstairs bedrooms also have their own bathroom.
Outside, the landscaped garden offers even more breathtaking views and space to play, providing the perfect backdrop for relaxation and rejuvenation.

Red Peaks is 2.1 kilometres to town which is a 4 to 5 minute drive or 6 minute bus trip. The bus stop is a one minute walk from the house and the bus leaves every 15 minutes during the day and every 30 minutes from 7pm until midnight. You can walk into town by footpath or forest walking tracks. It takes around 30 minutes in and 40 – 45 minutes coming back up the hill. If you have your bike its about 8 minutes down to town and 17 minutes coming back up the hill.
There is ample room for secure storage of ski / snow gear, bikes (x 8) or golf clubs in a new, large storage shed at the back of the house. The shed has been installed with lighting and power, perfect for charging e-bikes.
Covered off street parking is provided.
For those without a car it is easy to explore for $2 per adult (with a registered Bee card) on the Queenstown Bus Network which stops less than 100m from Red Peaks (see photo for locations). Get your Bee Card for $5 from Paper Plus at the airport, the iSite Visitor Centre in town or on the bus (cash only). Leaving every 15 minutes you can even bus in from the airport, just look for the Sunshine Bay bus.
The 2 single beds in the upstairs common area are not to be used unless pre-arranged with The Butler - extra charges may apply if you use these.
The internal stairs are steeper than usual so please take care, especially with children. Young children will also need watching if playing in the common space at the top of the stairs or outside in the garden on the lovely lawn which is unfenced.
For families traveling with little ones, we offer the convenience of hiring a portacot and highchair when booking. Just let us know your needs, and we'll take care of the rest.
