2 Bedroom Cottage in Kingston

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)

Summary: We loved staying here. The place was well equipped, tidy and very cosy. The wood burner takes no time to warm the place up. It is very close to the lake. (through a gate) Ideal stay no matter what season it is.

Summary: We chose this location partly because it was out of the big towns like Queenstown (which we prefer), partly because all the day trips we were going to make over 4 days were south and west (Invercargill and Milford Sound) and this shaved off 45 minutes to our drives, and mostly because it was a beautiful cottage on a beautiful property. The cottage had everything we needed for 5 days, The beds were extremely comfortable! We were caught off guard by it being purely wood stove heat (because we’re Americans and didn’t think), but the stove warmed the cottage perfectly. My partner would say it warmed too well. lol. Communications with the hosts were easy and all questions were answered quickly and thoroughly. If/when we return to the South Island someday, we would definitely stay here again.

Summary: This was our second stay and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Great location and property. Thoughfully decorated cottage had everything we needed. Just a few steps to the beautiful lake and away from the hustle and bustle of Queenstown. Thanks for having us again.

Summary: This lovely, comfortable cottage on the south end of the 50 mile long Lake Wakatipu, exceeded my expectations for the entire month of my stay. The host/hostess were helpful and accessible from booking through departure.The grounds are beautiful and the interior is well appointed with lovely views of the lake and surrounding mountains. As needed, the wood burning stove kept the space warm, and there was an ample supply of dry wood a few steps away. Queenstown is an approximate 40 minute scenic drive along the lake. It is a full-service, small city where supplies and provisions are available along with an excellent selection of diverse recreation and restaurants . Returning to my peaceful, home-away-from home was always welcomed. I prepared most meals there, which was made easy with the well-provisioned kitchen. An enjoyable alternative was to take a walk along the lake to the Flyer cafe for a nice glass of wine, view of the sunset and the welcoming chats with locals. It isn't "if" I'll return to this property! It's when! It was a perfect place to be, and hats off to the host and hostess who obviously put considerable effort into making their guests feel so welcomed!
