A luxuriously renovated historic homestead with stunning gardens on a 10 acre private estate on iconic Lake Hayes, Queenstown
Why choose The Homestead at Lake Hayes?
The Homestead at Lake Hayes is where history meets lakeside luxury over 5 bedrooms and a modest 15 acres. Sink into the hot tub and snuggle up around the outdoor fire pit with a glass of Central Otago Pinot Noir. All while the children run wild in the century-old orchards.
A modern masterpiece with a century of class
Originally built in 1906 ‘restored’ doesn’t come close to describing the lovingly crafted masterpiece

others toes.
