The Lofts Apartments

The Resort and Its Setting

The Lofts Apartments is a timeshare property in Queenstown, on New Zealand's South Island. Owners hold a fixed week (or weeks) at the resort and can use that week themselves, pass it on to family or friends, rent it out, or exchange it through RCI for a stay at another affiliated resort elsewhere in the world. Queenstown's apartment-style timeshare stock tends to suit couples, families and groups who want a base with some self-catering flexibility rather than a standard hotel room — a practical choice for a longer stay in a mountain town.

Queenstown: The Area and What There Is to Do

Queenstown is built around Lake Wakatipu, a glacial lake that dominates the town's scenery and offers cruises, boating and watersports just a couple of kilometres from the resort. In winter, The Remarkables Ski Field (around 25km away) draws skiers and snowboarders, while summer turns the region over to hiking, mountain biking and jet boating on the surrounding rivers and trails. History and shopping fans head to Arrowtown, a former gold-rush settlement about 21km away with well-preserved period buildings and a well-known display of autumn colour. Further afield, Glenorchy (roughly 45km away) is the gateway to some of the region's best-known hiking country, and Milford Sound, a UNESCO World Heritage fjord, is reachable as a long day trip from Queenstown. Spring and autumn bring smaller crowds and generally easier logistics than the peak summer and ski-season weeks.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

BidMyTimeshare.com is an owner-to-owner marketplace: there's no agency standing between you and the buyer or renter. If you want to sell, you list your week, set your own asking price, and interested buyers contact you directly through the platform. We charge sellers a one-time listing fee and take 0% commission on the sale itself — whatever you agree with a buyer is what you keep.

The resort is affiliated with RCI, so it's worth confirming with RCI or the resort's management whether your specific week carries exchange rights, since this affects what a resale buyer is actually acquiring. Resale at The Lofts Apartments is handled through the resort's own owners' association or management company rather than through BidMyTimeshare.com, so before agreeing a price with a buyer, both sides should ask management for the current transfer fee and the latest annual maintenance fee — these figures aren't published here and need to be confirmed directly with the resort. A seller should also check whether the owners' association holds any right of first refusal on a sale, as this can affect timing. If you'd rather not sell, renting your week out for a single season is a straightforward alternative — renters here typically look for a Queenstown base during ski season or the summer outdoor months, so pricing and timing your listing around those periods tends to generate the most interest.

Practical Notes for Buyers and Owners

Anyone buying resale should ask management, in writing, exactly what transfers with the week: the fixed week or float period, any RCI exchange eligibility, and the up-to-date annual fee, before any money changes hands. Queenstown's weather shifts quickly even within a single day, so pack layers regardless of season, and arrange a hire car in advance if you plan to reach Arrowtown, Glenorchy or Milford Sound, since public transport to the more remote spots is limited. Owners planning to exchange their week through RCI generally get better availability by targeting shoulder-season dates rather than the busiest ski or midsummer weeks.
