Lakeview in Kingston

Imagine spending time on the shores of the stunning Lake Wakatipu with magnificent views of the lake and surrounding mountain ranges.
In summer the area comes alive with summer holiday makers enjoying boating, water skiing and fishing on the lake.
In winter the ski fields buzz with visitors from around the globe converging on the world class Remarkables ski fields which is just 30 minutes drive away.

Beautiful place, entitled owners
We pay to stay and are told to clean. We left the place clean and tidy but telling us we are like friends visiting is rubbish. No milk, no coffee, barely enough soap to wash our bodies in leaking plastic pouches, not enough towels to last the days, one hand towel for 2 days with 4 people and one towel each. Rudeness, no tea, no hot chocolate. No response to our private comments. Lazy entitled owners.

A very complete & thoughtfully presented holiday house almost right on the lake. Prefer if closer to Queenstown. I booked with Expedia, made one payment on my credit card, then was billed by Vrbo, which is connected with Expedia for a second payment. This was not wrong, but confusing, as I expected my credit card to be automatically billed by Expedia for a second payment.

Bliss on the Lake
The property had a beautiful view of the lake. It was cozy and had everything we needed. It was a good jumping off point to explore the Southland and Stewart Island.

Quiet Kingston
Quiet and peaceful getaway from Queenstown. View of Lake Wakatipu was breathtaking, the front gardens were beautiful, and the starlit night sky was incredible. Central location for various daytrips: from the Fiordlands, to Queenstown and all the way to Wanaka. It is a rustic but nicely outfitted cabin. Beds were comfortable and appliances worked well. Water is untreated from a cistern so consider purchasing bottled drinking water with your groceries in Queenstown, as there is only a small corner store in Kingston. Satellite internet/TV can be a bit slow or intermittent, but met our entertainment needs. The house manager was extraordinarily attentive and kind and made our stay perfect. We would definitely consider staying again.

Amazing location
We loved this rental, it was so nice to wake up to the lake just across the road and there is a lovely restaurant withing walking distance at the old train station. Unfortunately the train only runs on Sunday so we couldn't take it, but maybe next time! There is also a great bike / hike path that goes around the mountain that we walked on. This was a lovely rental and we enjoyed our time there very much.

Prima verblijf, mooie locatie
Lekker huisje met mooi uitzicht. 2 slaapkamers met goede bedden. Woonkamer en keuken zijn goed voorzien. WiFi verbinding was niet echt goed, viel vaak weg en langzaam. Voor het mooie uitzicht is het een aanrader. Goede uitvalsbasis (met auto) voor oa Queenstown, Te Anau en Milford sound.

Great quiet location within easy distance of so much, as well as having a great option down the road for dinner. Needed somewhere handy to stay for the Queenstown Marathon and recover afterwards. This place was fully equipped for a longer stay, great in all weather conditions too. Could throw a stone to the lake as well!
