About this Holiday House

The Boulders Retreat is a unique and stylish holiday home perched high on the hillside above Lake Dunstan, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the lake and surrounding mountains. Set among the iconic rocky landscape of Central Otago, this modern villa is all about peace, comfort, and enjoying the best of what this beautiful region has to offer. Inside, bold décor and colourful touches create a fun, welcoming space, while large windows let the views do the talking. The open-plan living area includes a fully equipped kitchen and dining space, and flows effortlessly to outdoor areas – perfect for soaking in the scenery. After a day exploring, enjoy a soak in the outdoor tub under the stars with a glass of local wine. Sleeping up to six guests, the home features three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The master suite includes a king bed, walk-in wardrobe and ensuite, while the second bedroom has a queen bed and the third is a bunkroom – ideal for kids or extra guests. As a certified passive house, it stays comfortable all year round, no matter the weather. You're right next door to Cloudy Bay vineyard, with even more cellar doors to explore in Bannockburn and Gibbston. If you're feeling active, there are walking and biking tracks on the doorstep, and the famous Dunstan Trail is just a short ride away. Whether you’re after a relaxing escape, a base for wine tasting, or a bit of adventure, The Boulders Retreat is a special spot to unwind and soak up the magic of Central Otago.
