Living in Jacks Point
Jack's Point occupies the southeastern corner of Lake Wakatipu, around 12 km from Queenstown, on a peninsula of schist and tussock that spent most of its history as the quiet end of a very busy lake. The development that arrived from the early 2000s had a clearer plan than most: build a community around a championship golf course, face every possible window toward the Remarkables, and price accordingly. Around 1,500 people now live in what is either a masterplanned resort community or a suburb with an unusually good short game, depending on your outlook.
The Jack's Point Golf Course delivers on the scenery promise with the consistency of a landscape that didn't need any help: the fairways run the lake edge and the tussock terraces with the Remarkables as a permanent backdrop, and the club's membership has the kind of waiting list that converts sceptics. The Henley walking track loops the peninsula for those whose relationship with a 4-iron is purely philosophical.
The Kawarau River mouth and the lake's southern wetlands make the peninsula's edges genuinely birdy, and the flat cycle paths toward Frankton give the development's residents a traffic-free connection to the basin's main services.
Frankton's Shotover Primary and Remarkables Primary handle the schooling, with Wakatipu High the secondary destination. The lake road handles the rest.
