The Elms at Lake Hayes Villa Two
10 4 4Designed by Patterson Architects and styled by Virginia Fisher of Eichardt's Private Hotel, this four-bedroom lakefront villa sits on the shores of Lake Hayes, 100 metres from Amisfield Winery and 15 minutes from central Queenstown.
The Elms at Lake Hayes Villa Two is among the most considered pieces of residential design available as luxury accommodation in Queenstown. Designed by Patterson Architects and styled by Virginia Fisher, the interior designer behind the iconic Eichardt’s Private Hotel, the property brings genuine architectural pedigree to the shores of one of the Wakatipu Basin’s most scenic addresses. Fifteen minutes from central Queenstown, sleeping ten across four bedrooms, this is Lake Hayes luxury accommodation at its absolute finest.
The Location
Lake Hayes sits between Queenstown and Arrowtown in the heart of the Wakatipu Basin, a location that puts virtually everything within easy reach, without sacrificing privacy. Amisfield Winery and Bistro, one of Central Otago’s most celebrated wine and dining destinations, is 100 metres from the front door. Coronet Peak and The Remarkables ski fields are within 30 minutes. Two of New Zealand’s finest golf courses: Millbrook Resort and The Hills, are a short drive away. Arrowtown’s historic main street is minutes from the property, and the Lake Hayes walking track is accessible directly from the grounds.
For those seeking luxury accommodation in Queenstown NZ with proximity to both the slopes and the region’s finest experiences, The Elms sets a high benchmark.
The Villa
Villa Two occupies the middle position in The Elms complex, built into the hillside across three levels with three-metre stud ceilings throughout. Virginia Fisher’s interior design brings warmth and precision; a neutral palette of natural timbers, stone and considered furnishings that feel residential rather than hotel-like, polished without being cold.
The open-plan living and dining area flows directly to a generous lake-facing balcony, and a home bar closes discreetly into the wall panels when not in use. The kitchen is fully equipped for a private chef. A separate media room and indoor fireplace anchor the living spaces, while the covered outdoor terrace features an outdoor fireplace, dining setting and private hot tub with uninterrupted views across Lake Hayes to the Coronet Peak and Remarkables ranges.
The master bedroom commands lake views with a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite featuring a steam shower and freestanding bath. Two additional guest suites are equally proportioned with private ensuites. A custom-built bunk room with two queen beds and two single bunks above has its own ensuite and generous wardrobe space, designed for younger guests or additional travellers.
The Experience
A stay at The Elms Villa Two can be as active or as relaxed as the occasion demands. We can arrange private chef dining, helicopter sightseeing and heli-skiing excursions, private ski guides at Coronet Peak and The Remarkables, golf at Millbrook or The Hills, and bespoke Queenstown itineraries tailored around each group.
Every stay includes a welcome hamper, starter breakfast provisions, a bottle of local wine, premium New Zealand hair and skincare, robes and slippers. A mid-stay clean and linen change is included on stays of seven nights or more.
For those seeking Lake Hayes luxury accommodation with genuine architectural distinction and the full service of a specialist travel team behind it, The Elms Villa Two is an exceptional choice.
