Our Story & Team
Introducing Mistral Rise Villas. A cherished Queenstown favourite for years.
Our Story & Team
What started as a simple idea has grown into something far greater: a place where travellers find comfort and everyone feels a little more at home.
Our journey began with a shared love among a group of owners worldwide who wanted to create a hospitality business that focused on creating a quality product with genuine service.
Envisioning a space that offers more than just a bed - a thoughtfully curated environment that blends style, convenience, and the warmth of a true home. Nestled in the Alpine region of Queenstown, our apartments were created with the modern traveller in mind: self-contained, impeccably clean, and tastefully designed to cater to short and extended stays.
Our mission is clear - to create extraordinary moments, weaving memories that linger in the hearts of our guests and team members, lasting a lifetime. Our commitment is to provide a welcoming 'home away from home' that embraces and celebrates diversity.
Whether it's helping guests discover Queenstown's hidden gems, providing seamless check-in and personalised touches, or simply ensuring a restful night after a long journey, we take pride in every little detail.
What truly sets us apart is our belief in genuine hospitality. We've built this business as property managers, hosts, storytellers, and community connectors. Over the years, we've welcomed guests from all walks of life - honeymooners, solo adventurers, business travellers - and each one has contributed to our growing tapestry of memories.
As we look to the future, our commitment remains the same: to continue evolving, embracing innovation, and delivering the kind of stays we cherish. Our story is still being written, and we're grateful that our guests are part of it.

“This place is stunning.”
“We discovered this place online when we were searching for a special place where we could feel restored & we were not disappointed. The uninterrupted view of the Remarkables & lake was spectacular from the living area & bedroom. It was uplifting to be surrounded by so much beauty. As keen nature lovers we enjoyed looking out on the natural bush & bird life as well & there was even a mistletoe on the property.
Even though there was fresh snow it was so cozy inside with the gas fire & underfloor heating in the bathrooms.A lovely welcome when we arrived with the heating turned on & delicious Seriously Good Chocolates from Southland.
