About this property
Charming Lakefront Cottage Retreat with large sheltered garden and stunning view
Beautiful and tranquil Kingston is the perfect place for quality relaxation yet so central to the action and vibe of Queenstown.
This North facing cottage catches the sun and offers a beautiful and quaint place to base your Queenstown Lakes adventures or an excellent place to just rest and relax.
One of Kingston’s very first homesteads, this property is really unique. It is Kingston's only true lakefront residence (no roads to cross to access the beach/lake), is sheltered from the Northerly winds and has a small stream flowing through the garden to the lake. With 2 large comfortable beds providing a great sleep for up to 4 guests, the property is thoughtfully furnished and appointed while retaining the unique and rustic charm that really sets it apart from other accommodation options.
Enjoy the silence and stunning mountain and water views from the deck. Enjoy a wine and a good conversation with the doors opened to the garden or if the weathers bad perhaps watch some big screen TV in front of the wood fire.
Take a stroll along the waterfront to our local ‘Flyer’ Cafe/ Pub for a drink, a bite to eat or a takeaway pizza to take back and enjoy in front of the fire.
Great location for summer AND winter with only a 30 minute easy drive to Frankton/Queenstown and just 20-25 minutes to the Remarkables Ski Area access road.
MINIMUM BOOKING = 3 Nights (or equivalent $ for shorter stays)
Some Special conditions:
SMOKING IS ALLOWED outside only.
No tents/campervans or outdoor living on the property.
Outdoor fireplace is not available for guest use. Official fire bans are frequently in force in the area.
Extras: Linen (Required, NZ$50.00 per stay);
NOTE: 1) Under Kiwi crib tradition guests are expected to clean and tidy the house and do the dishes, leaving the property in the same condition as when they checked in.
NOTE: 2) For damages or theft - a small refundable damage protection bond is applicable
Security: Property (Grounds) is protected by RING

Why they chose this property
We live in this property part time throughout every month of the year ourselves, so it is not a 'holiday home'.
Million dollar views every day and in all weathers. It's location is so close to the world famous, ever growing and bustling Queenstown but this property and Kingston offers a real sense of beauty, space, privacy, tranquility and a 'community' that cares.

What makes this property unique
Characterful historic cottage improved by previous owners who were interior designers. A beautiful balance of enough technology and 'comforts of home', with enough rustic romance to make every stay memorable.
