Turner Heights Townhouses

The Resort and Its Setting

Turner Heights Townhouses is an independent timeshare resort built around townhouse-style units, giving owners more separation and living space than a typical hotel-style timeshare suite. It's affiliated with RCI, so weeks here can be deposited into the RCI exchange system as well as used directly in Queenstown. The resort sits in Queenstown itself, on New Zealand's South Island, within reach of Lake Wakatipu and the Remarkables mountain range that frame the town.

The Area and Things to Do

Queenstown is known as a base for outdoor activity year-round. In summer (roughly December to February) that means hiking, mountain biking, jet boating and water sports on Lake Wakatipu, just a couple of kilometres from the resort. In winter (June to August), The Remarkables Ski Field, about 25 km away, draws skiers and snowboarders. Closer to town, the adventure activities Queenstown is famous for — bungee jumping, skydiving, jet boating — are available without any need to drive. For a quieter day, Arrowtown is a short trip away with its historic streets, autumn colour and restaurants, and Milford Sound is a popular long day-trip for those wanting to see the fjords, though it's a considerable distance from Queenstown.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at Turner Heights Townhouses and are considering selling or renting it out, BidMyTimeshare.com is an owner-to-owner marketplace: you list your week, set your own asking price, and buyers or renters contact you directly through the platform. There's no commission on the sale — sellers pay a single, one-time listing fee to advertise.

Because Turner Heights Townhouses is an independent resort, resale typically goes through the resort's own owners' association or management company rather than a brand-wide transfer desk. Before agreeing a price with a buyer, sellers and buyers should both confirm directly with the resort or its management: the transfer fee charged to move the week into a new owner's name, whether the resort's association holds any right of first refusal on resale, how long the transfer process usually takes, and the current annual maintenance fee. None of these figures are published by the resort, so treat any price or timeline you're quoted as resort-specific, and get it in writing before closing a deal.

A resale buyer at Turner Heights Townhouses should expect to receive the usage rights tied to the week itself — including access to the RCI exchange network where the resort's affiliation applies — but should not assume any extras (upgrades, bonus points, or the prior owner's loyalty perks) transfer automatically. Always ask the seller or the resort directly what is and isn't included.

Renters, meanwhile, are usually looking for confirmed dates, clarity on unit size (townhouse layouts can sleep more people than a standard studio or one-bedroom), and a clear understanding of what's included in the rental price versus what's arranged separately with the resort.

Practical Notes

Queenstown Airport provides direct regional access, cutting out long transfers from other New Zealand hubs. Because the resort sits in an alpine setting, weather can shift quickly regardless of season, so layers and a waterproof jacket are worth packing whatever time of year you travel. Many central Queenstown activities are walkable from town, but a rental car makes sense if you plan to get out to Arrowtown, The Remarkables, or further afield. Owners using the RCI affiliation to exchange into other destinations may find shoulder-season weeks easier to deposit and exchange, simply because demand across the network tends to ease outside the December–February and June–August peaks.
