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.

Most comfortable of our whole trip

Lovely clean and beautifully comfortable home in a quiet part of Queenstown, away from the hustle and bustle. Games, DVDs, sandpit, two TVs and outdoor space for the kids was great! 4 bedrooms was the ultimate relax and spread out after our 9 days in a motorhome. Thanks

Perfect spot and everything that you need

This property is fantastic, with heaps of space and everything that you need away from home. Fantastic location to have peace and quiet, yet so easy to get to the CBD within minutes with the water taxi jetty a short walk away. We totally loved our stay and would definitely recommend this property 😀.
