About this house rental

Numerous mountain bike and walking tracks are just outside the door, with the Queenstown Trail providing great riding from Jacks Point all the way out to Gibbston Valley. In winter Coronet Peak, The Remarkables and Cardrona ski fields are just a short drive away, and you can come home and relax on the sunny deck after a hard day of skiing or boarding.

The house and its set up is perfect for family and friends. Layout means communal spaces and space for timeouts. Kitchen well appointed (coffee pods much appreciated), bathroom new and spacious.
Quiet, quiet neighbourhood, amazing views and easy access to ski fields and airport, great if you have people to pick up/drop off and want to choose which ski fields you go to.

Louise was fantastic prior to and during our stay. Messages were promptly replied to, helpful hints given, and the house runs itself.
We had all the nuts and bolts of into in handy folders in the house. Wifi was great and the laundry facilities came in super handy !
The house is beautifully situated with amazing views but still extremely comfortable with the wild Queenstown weather.
Location is a quiet spot about twenty minutes out of Queenstown and half that to the airport. A quick trip into town to grab sundries was very easy.
The balcony off the main bedroom upstairs was a very nice treat.
Plenty of space to get comfy in the lounge while we planned our next adventure.
Would definitely stay here again !

A home away from home. Great size for a family, spacious, with an excellent kitchen and a well stocked pantry. The view is spectacular, hard to beat, takes your breath away when you enter. The sun shines through the large rear windows in the afternoon, which you can soak up on the balcony accessed from the dining and lounge, plus another upstairs off the main bedroom. Multiple heating options to keep you warm when the sun isn't shining - the log fire is a bonus we definitely used with plenty of wood for our week long stay and beyond. Communication excellent with all the information you need provided. Ferry over to Queenstown fast and very convenient. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Very peaceful location with a fabulous view and very handy to the Remarkables ski field. The sun streamed into the living room and upstairs bedroom in the afternoon which made the house lovely and warm. Thanks for sharing your lovely home with us

Fantastic!
We loved our stay, everything was there that we needed and the appartment was clean tidy and comfortable. The views are to die for, in the upstairs bedroom you felt you were on the bridge of a ship looking down the lake. It was brilliant! So much to do in the area, we loved the walk round the headland and back across the golf course.Thank you for your hospitality would definitely recommend if you want a bit of peace from Queenstown, and more sunshine in the evenings!

Breathtaking views
We really enjoyed staying in this house and we’re blown away by the views on the deck! Plenty of space with our two little boys and lovely open plan with a big lounge area for them to play. Only minor things were that the shower was small (but functional) and the house felt a little dusty but a big plus was that the kitchen was very new, modern and well equipped and of course the amazing views! Drive to town got a bit old and we felt a little isolated in the residential area but still really glad we chose this as our base in Queenstown!

Amazing location and views of the lake and mountains!
5stars is not enough! Beautiful location, comfy home, quiet neighborhood. Hosts answered communications quickly, and were flexible with checkout when our flight was changed. Perfect place to stay!

Beautiful views
Beautiful views, a quiet location. Park nearby. Water taxis were a fun way to head to queenstown. Modern done up kitchen has plenty of utensils etc to use. Lots of games for families getting together.
Property instruction book could do with a little updating - eg, water taxi timetable, a clearer note about turning on the hot water straight away would be more helpful.
Overall a very enjoyable stay!

Awesome place to stay. We will definitely be back.
We loved everything about this property in Kelvin Heights. It was warm, sunny and well appointed with amazing views of lake & mountains. The two levels worked well for our family.
It was great to be away from the hustle and bustle of Queenstown but only a 5-minute water taxi ride from the centre of town when we wanted to head out for dinner. Very clean. Comfortable beds. The only sad thing was I never managed to finish the Quanaka Quirky jigsaw!!

Great, peaceful location.
This house is in a great location. It's on the opposite side of the lake to Queenstown, but only a 10 minute drive away. The house is great for families, and a very quiet location. It is close to the water taxi to Queenstown, as well as the foreshore walk.
A great place to stay!!

House had everything we required. Quiet, sunny, great views, room for everyone.and the location was ideal for us during our stay. The house had everything we required, with great bedding and a relaxing living room. We also enjoyed playing the games with the kids at night.

Beautiful house with beautiful view
We were unsure whether to stay in Queenstown or Kelvin Heights. Happy we made the decision to stay here. We were only a 20 min drive from Queenstown and was happy to not be in the touristy part of town but with equally good views!
Place is better than photos. It is well designed, clean, and well stocked with supplies. The best I’ve seen out of the many rentals I’ve stayed in. This is the place to be if you want to make gourmet meals with a nice view. They even had a Le Creuset for you cooks out there.
Chris was an exceptional host, answering questions I had about the area and was very accommodating for our special request.
I usually don’t write reviews but thought this deserved a note! Highly recommend.
