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)
