Maybe you don’t need more reasons to long for New Zealand. Perhaps you too have been sold since the first Lord of the Rings and then keep getting sold by everything Taika Waititi does or says. Well, here’s another reason anyway. Just outside of Queenstown on the South Island, perched above the inland Lake Wakatipu, sits Bob’s Cove Luxury Retreat, as offered by the Luxe division of Airbnb.
For just over eight grand a night, the modern and sleekly appointed home sleeps ten people in its five bedrooms, each with their own ensuite bathroom with shower. The open-plan hyper-modern kitchen and sprawling living space open up to floor-to-ceiling, wall-to-wall views of the lake, mountains, and wilderness just outside the door.
With plenty of places to relax and take in the views or gather around the retro fireplace, you don’t necessarily need to leave the house, but with the New Zealand wilds, a pristine lake, and local trails just outside the door, you’ll be hard pressed to not strap on your hiking boots and see what kind of magic is out there.
