What a fabulous place to sit back and relax after a day on the slopes or out exploring. Red Peaks is tastefully decorated and has great views. Best of all if you are skiing we are less than 100m from the bus stops for your ski transport.
As it is relatively new to the market you will get a bargain. Don't wait too long as once it is discovered the available nights will sell quickly as this place ticks so many boxes.

From the words of a Billy Joel song "Son, can you play me a memory?"
Some of the best memories are when someone sits down at the piano and everyone joins in for a sing-a-long. There aren't many holiday homes that offer up a piano with sheet music for you to play. If you wish to make these sort of memories with your friends or family then you should book to stay at Jackaroo, a beautifully decorated property in Jacks Point with, yes you guessed it, a piano!

We are pleased to say our excellent service has been acknowledged once again by Airbnb as we continue to be one of their Super Hosts.
From The Butler team to all our clients, guests , friends and family wishing you all a Prosperous 2024. Stay safe to all those travelling.
To all our guests staying at the moment please take note that we have a Fire Ban in place in the area.
Otago District - Lakes zone enters restricted fire season
The Lakes zone in Otago will enter a restricted fire season, as of 8am on Saturday 9 December, until further notice.
A restricted fire season means a permit is required to light a fire in open air. You can apply for one at www.checkitsalright.nz.
Declaring the restricted fire season, Fire and Emergency New Zealand’s Otago District Manager Phil Marsh says conditions in Otago are rapidly changing. “This coming weekend and into the start of next week we are looking at a potential ‘spike’ period where forest fire danger will likely reach ‘very extreme’ in Lakes, Central and Upper Waitaki,” he says. “For that reason, we have made the decision to move Lakes into a restricted fire season.” “Requiring people to have a permit before lighting a fire means our local team can be on hand to provide advice about how to safely conduct a burn.”
For fire safety tips, applying for a permit, and more information about the activities you can and can’t do in a restricted fire season, go to www.checkitsalright.nz.
What a perfect place to sit back and enjoy the view. Whether you are enjoying a quiet drink, relaxing with a book or simply taking in the view, the balcony at Shotover Villa is just spectacular. The property is close to The Shotover Jet, Arthurs Point, Coronet Ski Field and still only a 7 minute drive to downtown Queenstown.
Go to our website and look for Shotover Villa to book this fantastic holiday home.
Great news everyone! Boil water has been lifted. Our water is once again safe to drink.
Great news everyone! Today we can confirm the boil water notice for all areas across the Queenstown water supply network can now be lifted.
This follows the successful installation of UV reactors at its Two Mile water treatment plant which are now fully operational and compliant with the order issued by national drinking water regulator, Taumata Arowai.
Take a moment to imagine your next holiday. Wouldn’t you love to Wake-up to the majestic mountain views in a beautifully styled holiday home. Let me introduce you to Jackaroo a new addition to The Butler’s portfolio. Please checkout the link in our bio above. ‼️
Update from the Queenstown Lakes Regional Council regarding the boil water notice currently in place
Flushing of the Two Mile water supply network begins today after successful trials. This is an essential part of our response to the cryptosporidium outbreak and, ultimately, lifting the boil water notice for remaining parts of Queenstown. Whilst this is a planned and controlled process, you may notice (QLDC contractor) Veolia teams out and about opening hydrants with water flowing into stormwater drains as a result.
We are working to minimise any disruption but there is a chance of temporary, brief water shutdowns to some properties over the next two weeks. Please continue to boil water if you live or work in the following areas:
• Queenstown town centre;
• Gorge Rd out to and including Industrial Place;
• Fernhill;
• Sunshine Bay; and
• Queenstown Hill above Frankton Rd out to and including Goldridge Way and Goldrush Way.
Keeping warm while on a winter holiday is important. The Carmina has you covered. Not only does it have underfloor heating which keeps the house at a cosy temperature it has this fabulous wood fire for the added heat and ambiance. Nothing bets sitting around a wood fire while enjoying a glass of local wine or a hot chocolate... can't you just feel yourself relaxing just reading about it?

Snow continues to fall in Jacks Point, Queenstown - this is the view from my nice warm office today. I can usually see the Remarkable Mountains but not today they are in a cloud of snow. So if you were staying at The Longhouse, Drift Bay Lodge or Valhalla Lodge at the moment you could be enjoying this Snow Day too and imagine the skiing tomorrow. We have a good 4 inches on the ground and still it snows! The skifields have 1m+ of fresh snow. And I have just heard from our guests in at Lakefront Terrace that they are making snowmen this morning so Deck 146, Kaiora Lodge, Q by the Lake & Antrim will all be enjoying this Spring Snow too.
