"This town is beautiful enough for the Queen to live in .” History has not recorded who in 1860 said those words which gave the name Queenstown to a gold mining canvastown situated idyllically at the head of Lake Wakatipu. Many suggest the honour should go to William Gilbert Rees, pioneer sheep farmer and the area’s first European settler. History repeats. Once again the name Rees will assume significant prominence in the community of Queenstown. Befitting a man remembered for his strength of character and his humanity, The Rees will become an address recognised for the environmental harmony of its design and construction, and for enhancing the lifestyles of those who live there.
