About this property

Relaxing and practical

This sunny crib was built in the 1980s and is situated in the peaceful haven of Kelvin Heights, approx. 10 minutes drive from Frankton. There is two large double bedrooms on separate levels, with two single bedrooms upstairs. There are bathrooms on both levels. There is two living areas downstairs, one open plan with the Gallery kitchen. The house boasts views across to Queenstown and Ben Lomond, Cecil Peak and the Remarkables. Jardine Park at the rear of the property is a lovely reserve with a playground and croquet club. It is also the starting point for two walking tracks, one to Jacks Point, the other around the Kelvin Peninsula. This crib is a super spot for a family holiday or a quiet break away. The base of the Remarkables Ski Area is a short drive away, making this an ideal makeshift ski lodge.

Lovely cosy & comfortable house with heaps of room for everyone to have their own space. Heaps of provisions in the kitchen, and good quality toiletries in the bathrooms. Very safe, quiet neighbourhood. Janet was a pleasure to communicate with, and was very helpful and accommodating. Highly recommend!

New Zealand adventure

We enjoyed our stay at this home. It is in a quiet neighborhood tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the city but close enough to get what you need. The house is humble and dated, but sufficient for us. It has wonderful views!

Could do with redecorating, very dated. Check to make sure appliances cleaned between stays. Maybe include cleaning fee in rate so visitors are not expected to clean as people have very different standards. Was a very warm house. Good location to Queenstown. Enjoyed our stay.

Great place for 6 adults to retreat to at the end of a busy day. Very spacious and warm with all the comforts you would expect of home. The two bathrooms and lounges are great for groups. Coming in to stay in the Winter meant we didn’t use the outside, but I can see how the front veranda that looks out to Queenstown would be amazing in those warm months.

This was a super comfy, warm well located house in a quiet street with lovely views across to Queenstown centre. It has everything you need and is just a few minutes drive from the Remarkables shopping centre for a supermarket (and a very good French bakery. Highly recommend!
