Luxury Holiday Homes with a Swimming Pool
9th December 2025
With its breathtaking alpine scenery and picture-perfect views, Queenstown continues to be one of New Zealand’s most sought-after holiday destinations.
While the region offers no shortage of boutique stays and high-end retreats, private holiday homes with swimming pools are still few and far between, making them especially coveted as summer approaches. As we head into the warmer months, luxury holiday homes with a swimming pool tend to book up very quickly, so there’s not too much time to ponder the idea.
To make things easier, we’ve curated a collection of standout properties that combine luxury living with the ultimate summer essential: a pool. We have hand-picked some of the hidden gems to showcase these to you.
Set within the peaceful rural landscape of Speargrass Flat, this rustic yet luxurious holiday home with its inviting swimming pool feels instantly warm and welcoming.
Just a few minutes’ drive from Arrowtown, known for its boutique stores and premium dining, with expansive 11.5-acre grounds to explore, there’s plenty of room to relax and unwind.
Whether it’s a match on the tennis court, a soak in the spa pool, a swim in the swimming pool, a BBQ feast, time in the private sauna, or a friendly game of pool, your summer escape promises endless fun. The property also borders Queenstown’s new Wharehuanui Cycle Trail, which winds between Arrowtown and Arthur’s Point through the Coronet Foothills and Mill Creek Reserve.
With five bedrooms in the main house and two additional bedrooms in the cottage, this spacious retreat is ideal for multi-generational families or larger groups.
This exceptional property delivers the WOW factor when it comes to entertaining. Perched above Millbrook Golf Course on one side and Lake Hayes with its surrounding mountains on the other, the home offers breathtaking views in every direction.

The main house features four bedrooms, complemented by two additional self-contained units, making it an ideal choice for families and large groups alike. The home is a short walk from Ayrburn, Queenstown’s newest luxury entertainment precinct, as well as Millbrook Resort’s facilities. The historic village of Arrowtown is also just a brief drive away.
Located in the sunny district of Kelvin Heights, this luxury villa enjoys an elevated lakefront position, offering both privacy and spectacular views.
It’s the perfect place to unwind – far enough from the hustle and bustle of central Queenstown to feel secluded, yet close enough to enjoy when you wish. With a luxurious swimming pool, spa pool, and steam room, relaxation comes effortlessly. When you’re ready to explore, the town centre is just a 20-minute drive or a short water taxi away. The Hilton Hotel’s spa, restaurant, and bar are also only a brief stroll along the Kelvin Heights track, while nearby Jacks Point provides further dining options and a world-class golf course.
Spend your days lounging in the hammock on the lawn, basking in the sunshine, enjoying drinks on the balcony while firing up the BBQ in the outdoor kitchen, or settling in by the outdoor fireplace to watch the sun set.
Featuring a private underground wine cellar, this contemporary holiday home allows you to indulge with ease. Take in breathtaking views of Lake Wakatipu from the suspended infinity pool, heated to hot tub temperature, or simply enjoy the scenery through floor-to-ceiling windows that frame the surrounding mountains and lake.
Located in a private gated subdivision high above the lake, and just a 7km drive from Queenstown, Jagged Edge provides the perfect base for a luxurious summer escape.
Sleek, sophisticated, and offering stunning lake and mountain views, 50 Aspen Grove is a standout favourite.
Perfectly positioned close to the town centre, this villa effortlessly combines relaxation and convenience. Take a dip in the 20-metre heated swimming pool, recharge with a gym or sauna session, or unwind in the jacuzzi while enjoying the views over Queenstown’s iconic landscapes. Inside, two inviting lounge areas offer space to relax, while the expansive private deck with an outdoor dining area provides a place to relax and enjoy the sun setting over the Remarkables.
Blending classic traditional style with a modern twist, this stunning home leaves a lasting impression. Overlooking Lake Hayes, its premium location provides easy access to both Arrowtown and Queenstown, making it the perfect base for your getaway.

And of course, the luxurious swimming pool is just the beginning of what makes this charming home so special. Cozy up by the floating fireplace, wander through the 100-year-old orchard, or soak in the spa pool after a workout in the private gym. This charming home truly has something for everyone.
