About this property

Sunny Cottage with fantastic water views

A character crib modernised and contemporised, it has all the comforts and yet still retains the simplicity of a traditional holiday house that you remember from your own childhood holidays. The views are wonderful and guests say they feel relaxed as soon as they arrive.
In summer you can practically spend all day on the sunny deck- morning coffee and papers, al fresco lunch and then to enjoy the long Central Otago evenings with drinks and BBQ dinner until it gets dark well after 10pm in summer. In winter you can enjoy the sunshine streaming in the windows whilst you take in the views of the calm lake and snowy mountain tops. It’s so cosy in winter that a relaxing dinner at home and local pinot noir after skiing will be very appealing.
The crib was one of the earliest on Kelvin Heights and has been built in several stages and now recently refurbished. The two queen bedrooms are linked internally or can be accessed independently through French doors off the large deck; There is plenty of off-street parking. The garden is in constant bloom for almost all of the year so you can enjoy fresh flowers during your stay.
Situated just at the beginning of the Kelvin Heights Peninsula, this home is perfectly positioned for water views, walking and biking trails and still very convenient to Queenstown central. You can walk a few minutes down to the beach for a swim and sunbathe or ride/ walk the new network of trails to Queenstown and Arrowtown. Walk along the waterfront trail for less than 10 minutes to the Hilton Hotel for a range of restaurants, maybe a spa treatment or evening cocktails.
Take a water taxi across or drive 15 minutes to the buzz of Queenstown central or 20 minutes to the quaintness of historic Arrowtown. Convenient to the Airport and Remarkables Park and 5 Mile shopping centres (3km). The cottage is minutes from both Queenstown and Jack Point golf course, close to Coronet Peak and even closer to Remarkables ski area. Queenstown area has an abundance of things to do and this crib provides a convenient and relaxing weekend or holiday base.

No smoking indoors
No pets
Families welcome
The two queen bedrooms are linked internally or can be accessed independently through French doors off the large deck; so suits family or friends

Wonderful Property
Staying here was a joy. The views and the gardens were spectacular. The home was very airy and light and had everything one could want. The bed was comfy, the home was sparkling clean and Fiona was a dream to communicate with. We had a lovely stay and recommend this property highly.

This is THE place.
Everything you could want and more. Photos don't do this view justice. Every morning was like waking up in the Truman Show- the backdrop just seemed fake! Everything was fantastic. Owner was very communicative and helpful and the place was perfection. Highly recommend!

Gorgeous view and a beautiful cottage.
Gorgeous view and a beautiful cottage. The kitchen was well equipped that we cooked and baked many of our meals instead of going out to restaurants. The home is nicely decorated w/many special touches. There are many books and DVDs . The owner thought of everything to make our stay enjoyable (extra towels, extra pillows, extra blankets, ..) You can take a short,scenic walk to the water taxi that will take you to Central Queenstown. We would definitely stay there again. It felt like home.

The best thing about the property is the stunning view from the deck of the lake, it is beautiful! The house is very well equipped with everything you'd need for your stay, including a wide selection of groceries. Location is very handy to Queenstown centre, Wanaka and arrowtown and is an excellent base for a holiday in the area. Also very useful info provided on local activities - we will definitely be back!

A beautiful stylish space with absolutely everything you need for a comfortable stay.
A beautiful stylish space with absolutely everything you need for a comfortable stay. We didn't want to leave. The location was perfect for our little family. A short drive into Queenstown where the action is, but why hang at a bar when you can kick back on THIS deck with THIS view with a drop of NZ's finest and the best company of all. There's a lovely lakeside walk you can take and you can easily catch the water taxi into Queenstown itself. Highly recommended for summer or winter.

We rarely stay in Hotels anymore, preferring the comfort, space and individuality of rental holiday accommodation, this property was in a great location overlong the lake and close to everything with town only a 5 minute drive away.The home was very tidy and very clean and well stocked with high end fixtures. We will recommend this property and stay here again when next in Queenstown !
