Modern Living in Pounamu - Unit 9

Property overview Modern Living in Pounamu — Unit 9 is a two‑bedroom, two‑bath entire apartment listed by Luxe Stay Queenstown and configured for up to four guests (infants excluded). The property is marketed as a contemporary, well‑appointed lake‑ and mountain‑view apartment within walking distance of Queenstown’s town centre. The unit is located within the Pounamu Apartments complex and is presented as a short‑stay holiday rental rather than a long‑term co‑living unit. Layout and access The apartment’s internal layout places the two bedrooms—each with wardrobes and ensuite bathrooms with bathtubs—on one landed floor. A short subfloor descent (4–5 steps) leads to the open lounge, kitchen and dining area, which opens to a lakeview balcony with outdoor seating. Access from the building carpark involves a set of 16–20 stairs and there is no elevator, which may affect accessibility and suitability for occupants with mobility constraints. Facilities and in‑unit amenities The listing highlights a fully equipped kitchen (coffee plunger, coffee grind, instant coffee, tea, sugar, milk), free unlimited Wi‑Fi, smart TVs in both bedrooms, in‑unit laundry facilities, and a broad set of standard hotel‑style amenities (linens, towels, hair dryer, toiletries, heating, indoor fireplace, dishwasher, microwave, oven, refrigerator, stove, toaster and wine glasses). Two allocated covered parking spaces are provided in the underground garage (note: campervans will not fit). The on‑site communal spa is available by reception booking only; reception does not provide broader guest services. Guest policies and fees Maximum occupancy is four guests (excluding infants); pets are not permitted. A cleaning fee is charged to bookings, daily housekeeping is not provided (additional services can be arranged for a cost), and a NZD 300 security deposit is collected by credit card prior to arrival. Guests are asked to leave the property in adequate condition and to complete dishes prior to departure. Location and transport The listing states proximity to key points: approximately a 10 minute walk to Queenstown CBD and lakefront, 12 minutes’ drive from Queenstown Airport, and about 10 minutes’ drive to nearby supermarkets and Frankton shopping. Ski areas (Remarkables and Coronet) are listed at roughly 45 minutes’ drive.
