Ibon House - Jaw-dropping lake and mountain views

Summary:

Perched high above Lake Wakatipu in one of Queenstown’s most sought-after hillside enclaves, Ibon House is a warm, character-filled alpine retreat designed to showcase breathtaking lake and mountain views. With soaring timber ceilings, expansive picture windows and sun-filled living spaces, this is a home that instantly helps you slow down and unwind. Tucked away at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, yet only a 10-minute drive to downtown.



The Space:

Only a 10-minute drive to downtown, you’ll find Ibon House at the end of a private cul-de-sac — a peaceful haven that feels a world away, yet remains wonderfully close to everything Queenstown has to offer.



LOCATION:

Aspen Grove is an exclusive suburb, basking in spectacular views of Lake Wakatipu, the Remarkables mountain range and downtown Queenstown. Ibon House enjoys an especially iconic position, it really is heaven on the hill.

KITCHEN AND LIVING:

A feature stacked-stone open fireplace provides toasty ambience after a day's skiing. The kitchen and dining are also on this level, enjoying the amazing outlook, along with a laundry and separate guest toilet.



OUTDOORS:

Indoor–outdoor living is an essential part of Kiwi summer living, and you will not be disappointed here! The living and dining areas open onto a private courtyard, equipped with a BBQ and ample outdoor furniture — perfect for open-air dining. There is also a private walking track leading down to a scenic lookout below the home.



GARAGE AND EXTRAS:

Finding somewhere to park your car won’t be an issue, with secure off-street parking available in the double garage and driveway.

This home is absolutely stunning!! The views cannot be beat. The size of the home was ideal for our group of 8. Everyone had ample space to spread out and relax. The hosts were very responsive to any messages and helpful. I highly recommend this property.

Spectacular views

The pictures don’t do justice to the views from this property. We all just wanted to sit in the window all day! I took hundreds of pictures because I couldn’t get enough. The place was spacious and we really enjoyed our time as a family of nine here! Our stay here just added to the magic of our visit to Queenstown!

Better than it even looks

Pictures actually don’t do this place justice, I expected views and a comfortable place, but in reality views are spectacular. From the kitchen, the bedrooms and especially the outdoor spa. It’s such a great escape place for a bunch of friends or two families. Highly recommend!

Phenomenal views

The property itself is older and needs some work. The heating could have been a little better, the fireplace unfortunately smoked the house out, but the views and location made up for it tenfold. Will definitely book again, its perfect for bigger groups.

Outstanding sanctuary so close to Queenstown!

Fantastic property in a brilliant location. Views were unobstructed and and absolutely incredible. Property is a little older, but photos are a true depiction of what to expect. We were two families staying for a week and we were very comfortable with plenty of space in the middle of winter. So quiet and easy to get around. Would highly recommend and would love to go back!

Two downstairs bathrooms need modernising. Aircon throughout needs upgrading. Water leak outside during stay caused issues with water pressure.

Stunning views and great home for a group.

We stayed here with friends and family. The house has the most amazing views and is very comfortable. Whilst aspects of the home may be a little tired the location and amenities far outweigh this.

Happy Holiday

We had an amazing stay at this beautiful property, with stunning views over the lake. Our one small gripe was the way they handle rubbish during your stay. While the conditions of stay clearly outline how rubbish is handled, it is a hassle and this needs to made easier for the guest.

Stay at Ibon House

Ibon house was a great spot for a group of 9 friends to stay for a few nights. Location was amazing and views were to die for. Everything you needed was available and there were tons of places to spread out. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would happily return if back in Queenstown. A little bit of TLC would up this from a 4.5 star rating to a 5.
