Located 5 minutes' drive from the center of Queenstown, Kamana Lakehouse offers stunning views over Lake Wakatipu and the iconic Remarkables mountain range. Each beautiful, air-conditioned room features contemporary decor, premium beds, USB charging ports, free WiFi, and an outdoor seating area. A selection of rooms include unobstructed lake and mountain views. Nest is growing lasting roots in our local Central Otago environment. We bring you delicious foraged herbs, seeds and wild ingredients, and nurture key partnerships with local farmers, growers and fishermen. There is always something new and exciting at Nest. We update menu items with the four seasons, and bring unique creations to light every week in our five course degustation experience. All thoughtfully designed towards an aspirational “zero waste” dining experience. Kamana Lakehouse is just 5 minutes' walk from the entrance of Fernhill Loop Track and Ben Lomond Track for easy access to some of New Zealand's native nature. It is well serviced by activity operators and close to local ski fields.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 9.0 for a two-person trip.

    The view from the bar is unbeatable. Even saw people leaving their cameras to capture long exposure shots of the sunrise/sunsets - it is that crazy! The bar was great and the hotel is nice.

  • Just confirming that all of the Lakeview rooms have an outside hot tub as it doesn’t appear in the photos?

    Only the Luxe rooms have the hot tubs, not the lakeview rooms. If that was something you were interested in, you would need to book direct.
