A supberbly-located old Queenstown apartment building’s been completely renovated by new owners to become the resort’s latest luxury apartment complex.
A Hong Kong-based family, who first bought Louise Kiely’s long-established boutique hotel, Queenstown House, on Hallenstein Street, then bought a Lake Esplanade complex, beside Bumbles, in late 2019.
Queenstown House managers Samantha Johnson and Paul Mabee, in association with the
owners, then had the complex gutted and renovated, and this Thursday ‘Queenstown House Lakeside Luxury Apartments’ takes its first guests.
‘‘You just have to google Queenstown House and we’re top of TripAdvisor and everything else, so it makes sense to tack the product onto something that was existing,’’ Johnson says.
