The Elms at
Lake Hayes
By Touch of Spice
Comprised of three separate apartments nestled on the shores of Lake Hayes,
overlooking Coronet Peak and the Remarkables mountain range, The Elms at Lake
Hayes Collection serves up privacy, elegance and space in equal measure.
Only a 10-minute drive from Queenstown Airport, these lakeside residences are
the perfect spot to rest your head after exploring downtown Queenstown and
neighbouring Arrowtown – a lakeside retreat to soak up those rare moments with
those closest.
Stay with lake views
Whether it’s just the two of you, the whole
family or a celebration with friends, The Elms
at Lake Hayes has options to suit all groups.
Choose from one, two or all three apartments
and let us take care of the rest.
Choose Villa One for relaxed indulging for
two of you (or up to six friends across three
sumptuous bedrooms), Villa Two is perfect
for a family getaway with three double
bedrooms, a bunk room with four beds and
a dedicated media room. Host your friends
and family for a proper get-together in Villa
Three which hosts large expanses of open
plan living space (alongside three bedrooms).
Why this lakeside property?
Each apartment oozes finesse and flare, open
plan living areas, multiple bedrooms (sleeping
24 in total), alongside unique quirks like the
cinema room or a hot tub waiting for you to
sink into with a glass of bubbles. With floor to
ceiling windows lining the front of the whole
building, let the interior seamlessly blend
with the picturesque landscape, giving a real
sense of living in a water colour painting.
Feel like it’s too good the leave? Let dinner
