Ellesmere Lodge is a modern 3 bedroom 2 bathroom home based in Jacks Point. If you are a skier you will be thrilled to know Ellesmere Lodge is only a few minutes drive to the base carpark and entrance of the Remarkables ski field so just a short drive to be back home sitting by the fire rather than sitting in the traffic. Not a skier but a golfer? Then even better the world class Jacks Point 18 hole championship golf course can be seen from the front deck and is only a short drive away.
The garage is carpeted for extra warmth in winter
Bedrooms 2 & 3 can be setup as either 2 singles or 1 King - please ensure you let us know how you want them setup.
Cot & Highchair can be hired - please ask.
We have an outdoor climbing equipment and trampoline. Guests are welcome to use them but the owners will not be held responsible for any injuries caused while using these items.
Someone from The Butler is just a phone call away
Ellesmere Lodge is located at the end of a quiet side street. It does have views over Orford Road towards the golf course and the surrounding estate. It is a quiet location so not suited for parties or loud music.
It is located less than a 10 minute drive from Queenstown airport (ZQN) and the Frankton shopping area. There you will find large supermarkets, a full range of shops and many cafes. Queenstown is a 20 minute drive away. There is over 35km of walking, hiking and cycling tracks right at the back door. It is less than 2 hours drive from Invercargill and is on the route from Queenstown to Milford Sound.
Originally farmland the Jacks Point Estate has been developed trying to keep the 3,000 acres in harmony with their original surroundings. From the planting of native fauna to the design of the houses this estate was 15 years in the planning.
Jacks Point is home to the acclaimed 18 hole Championship Golf Course, it has extensive mountain bike and walking trails, tennis courts, playground, sports fields and not to forget the Clubhouse and Restaurant which sit on the picturesque Lake Tewa which is also available for fly fishing. Here in Jacks Point we embrace the lifestyle and enjoy nature.
Guests have full access to the house and garage.
