About this property

Perfect for 2-12 guests with AMAZING VIEWS!

Our family love staying at Cartref. Light and airy with big views, balcony off the kitchen, BBQ watching the sun go down or a short walk to town with its many wonderful restaurants, live music and clubs.... so much to do... Queenstown is the ultimate is a holiday destination, whether bungi jumping, mountain biking and jet boating are you thing or chilling with a book and a wine on the deck, there is something for everyone - all year round, young and old.
Our house is 30 minutes from Coronet Peak ski resort and 45 from the iconic Remarkables, close to all amenities, supermarkets restaurants and shops, Cartref is situated in a cul de sac at the bottom of Bob's Peak amongst some of the original baches of Queenstown. Biking and walking tracks to Ben Lomond start at the end of the road
Special conditions:
Whereas it is a house for groups and it is a fun house in a fun place. It is not a house for partying all night in as it is in a residential area with neighbours who work 24/7 - and who we have to get on with!
So we ask that you respect this and keep noise down after 10pm.

Pets and children are very welcome however the property is not fully fenced so they need to be monitored.

Linen is included

Perfect for large group

We had a great stay here - we had 3 families with 2 kids each and all fit in snugly with one family sharing a bunk room. Beautiful view from the main room and the balcony and a short walk into Queenstown. My only disappointment was no fireplace but we knew there wasn’t one and it was incredibly warm and cosy inside. Kitchen very well equipped except for only one chopping board. Would definitely stay here again!

Great location and amazing stay for a big group

We had a great time staying here. Great location and views! With everything you need. Highly recommend for a large group. It is just good to note however that in half of the garage I think they run a laundry service? So there will be people on the property. Just gave me a bit of a fright when I saw someone I didn’t know in there! Other than that it is perfect. Thanks for having us stay

About the host

Hosted by Nicky

Host profile image
Hi my name is Nicky. My family and I love Queenstown and have spent many happy holidays here over the years. This is a photo of me and Richard at the amazing Luma Light Festival that we have each Queens Birthday weekend in the Queenstown Gardens

Why they chose this property

This is our family's happy place we hope it will be your's too. We have it set up for easy living for 2 families, although it could equally be for a group of friends. It is in a residential area, surrounded by local families and is definitely not a party house.

What makes this property unique

Fully refurbished - central heating and air conditioning, all mod cons.
