    It is a great location tucked away in a quiet spot behind a hill overlooking the iconic shot-over-the-river. It is only a short drive to a major shopping centre and tourist attractions.

Company information

Welcome to our home, we live on site with our young Golden Retriever dog and old cat in the front area of Laurel Bank House. We love sharing all that the Queenstown valley has to offer. It is peaceful at Laurel Bank House. You are close to all the fun stuff that can be enjoyed yet you are able to have some peace to completely relax.

Property information

Our lovely Laurel Bank House is historical to Queenstown. First built as a summer house 1892 on the hill in Queenstown. We relocated her in 2007 and lovingly restored her back to her former glory. We have done our best to keep the old world feel while providing modern facilities. All the rooms are unique with their own charming character.

Neighbourhood information

Laurel Bank House has been relocated to a private road that gives you the feeling that you are a million miles away but in reality just 5 mins from Frankton shopping hub and 10 mins from Downtown Queenstown and 8 mins from the lovely historical Arrowtown. The homestead sits looking at Coronet Peak from the front lawn and the Remarkables mountain from the back windows.
