REMARKABLES RETREAT 1 PROPERTY SUMMARY:

This jewel maximises space with an entire open plan upstairs with dining table, lounge and kitchen, all with the stunning backdrop of the lake and surrounding mountains.

Cook your meals in the well-equipped and modern kitchen and linger over your meal at the classic dining table. Spread out in the spacious lounge area and enjoy a DVD on the flat-screen television and free WIFI.

Wake up, step outside and walk around the lake (and around to the Marina for breakfast if you choose) on the Frankton walking track that runs right past Remarkables Retreat. There’s also outdoor furniture for soaking up the sun or pre-dinner drinks on the balcony.

Finding a park is easy with access to a private garage for one small to medium vehicle, and one outdoor space in front. Please note that an all wheel drive vehicle or 4WD vehicle is a must during the winter months to access the driveway.

Family paradise

Family enjoyed the stay here and didn’t want to go out as the views were spectacular. We should’ve stayed longer though as we were so busy checking out the city and going to places and stayed less at home. Overall, a very nice place. Kids enjoyed the space.

Nice views and location but…

Stunning views and location is great. Access to the property is good. However heater in the master bedroom does not work and cold gets into the gaps of the window. Wifi does not work at the bottom bedrooms. Overall great

Spring retreat with friends

Mesmerising view of the Frankton Arm of Lake Wakatipu and Remarkable Peaks. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the property. Being an enthusiast landscaper and a man with deep aesthetic sense, I would prefer a different layout of couches in the lounge as the current one obscure the million dollar view. Some of the cooking pans need a replacement as some has burnt skin and stick/burn food immediately after you start cooking even at slow heat. Overall, a great place to stay. Very close to the towns (Frankton and Queenstown). Has access to the Frankton bike/walking trail from the lower portion.

Queenstown stay

Great location right on the lake, however it was a challenge for our family with two medium sized SUV’s to negotiate the parking, garage was too small to fit either car, you need a good driver to fit both cars and get them in and out the allocated space. House was amazing but found unwashed plates etc in pantry from previous guests and garbage arrangements/ allowances not practical for a large group staying for more than a week.

It was good but a few issues

The property was nice and good location however the kitchen crockery had quite a few chips on the plates and cups. The kitchen cookware was small when the property caters to sleep 11. The wifi would not hook up easily and in the end only had 2 devices able to get connected. The set of drawers in 2 of the bedrooms were broken. The dryer did not work great. The glass top coffee table was not secured on making it a little hazardous with children. The rubbish situation was strange as there was wheelie bins at the front door but not able to use and had to remove own rubbish and take recycles to recycle centre, when staying for a week with 9 people would have thought would be able to put rubbish in the bins. The property overall was not as clean as would have expected, blinds and windows dirty. Beware when booking through a third party as they add on quite a percentage to the rate.

Stunning views

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great views along the lake. Lovely spacious living areas and bedrooms. Access to house a bit tricky to find, maybe some signage out by road would help! Overall it was a great place to stay.
