escape into nature

Stunning views!!! We eloped in Queenstown and Josh and Allanah’s place was the perfect spot to have a peaceful day getting ready and relaxing with views of the water and mountains in the background! What a dreamy spot! Highly recommend!!!

Wow! If you want to experience Queenstown like never before, this is the place to stay!
From the sweeping views of the lake from the balcony, to the modern interior decorating and facilities, this is the height of luxury.
The hot pool with its own views was an amazing addition, and really makes you feel like you’re staying in a private resort.
Would 100% stay here again!
Thank you Allanah & Josh!

What a beautiful spot.. wow!
We were speechless when entering the gorgeous space Josh and Allanah created. Its views, the layout, the styling, it was all just so well thought out and felt like such a luxury to stay in. We made sure to pop up to the hot tubs and have a soak, which was pure serenity.
We adore this spot and can’t wait to return in winter one day and enjoy the cozy fireplace. Thank you both for a wonderful stay, you’ve really created a stunning experience.

This place is amazing! The photos do not do it justice. A slice of heaven that feels like home. Super clean, tidy and has all the facilities you could need. Josh and Allanah were so accommodating and friendly. I would 100% stay here again and always recommend Crystal Waters.

We were blown away by the views and the apartment was beautifully designed. Allanah and Josh had everything you needed and the space was a dream to relax in. Queenstown is a 10 min drive but honestly we did t want to leave the apartment! Great hosts and incredible experience- if you are after a luxury escape! It was just two of us but easily bring my sons back as heaps of room, ample bathroom space and a huge deck to take in the views!

Absolutely a 5 star experience in Queenstown. It’s around 10 minutes drive to the town, so it’s really convenient to get anything we want. Wonderful lake view from all bedrooms and living room. Huge balcony where we can enjoy the lake view during the day and the amazing starry sky at night. Highly recommended!! Looking forward to visit again:)

“Josh and Allanah have done and incredible job with this place. The views are simply breathtaking and the spa is a great way to relax after a long day. The place has everything you need for a luxury stay and lots of nice little touches, like automatic blinds so you can take in the views without getting out of bed in the morning. The only downside - you’ll never want to leave!”

“I had high hopes for Crystal Waters after reading all the reviews and it still exceeded my expectations! It has everything you could ever ask for for a Queenstown stay. What the picture doesn’t tell you is that it’s actually very private. The suites are well separated from each other and the spa was always available whenever we wanted to use it. Josh and Allanah were super helpful and friendly, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thanks for hosting us, can’t wait to go back!”

“Wow! Wow, wow, wow!!! We booked this amazing property during our time here for our elopement. It was absolutely breathtaking and we were so happy we stayed here! It was spotless, well equipped, sooooo cosy in the cold and the views were breathtaking! Everything felt well thought out and had many luxurious touches. We felt so privileged staying here and would love to come back soon. There are 4 villas and it felt very private. You won’t regret staying here!”

“Bring plenty of food and supplies cause when you get here, you won’t want to leave!”

If you are considering booking this property, I would highly recommend doing so. It is far better than the pictures suggest and is worth every single cent! The attention to detail is exception and the location and views were unreal. Book this hidden gem before the word gets around. Thank you for creating such a wonderful place for your guests, cannot wait to return!

“If we could give this accommodation 10 out of 5 stars, we certainly would. Allanah and Josh are both such gracious hosts — very responsive and extremely helpful. Thanks so much, Allanah and Josh! We had such a wonderful stay that we were sad to leave. The suite was impeccably clean, and tastefully furnished. Located at the end of a street, with little light pollution, we were afforded an amazing night sky view — the milky way was visible from the balcony. Absolutely brilliant!”

“10000/10 we said this would be one of the top places we ever stay in our lives. The view is absolutely spectacular. We had our morning coffee and watched the sunset in the spa - highly recommend.”
