Jan 10, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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. ##### Craig D. Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrew Apr 7, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication 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. ##### Andrew Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Patrick K. Feb 15, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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. ##### Patrick K. Stayed 29 nights in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mat Lazim A.

Oct 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Perfect base for exploration of Queenstown, Glenorchy, Milford Sound etc. The cottage has everything one might need away from home. The quietness and lake-front view is superb. Other inspirations gained are the rainwater harvesting system and lovely designs of the houses in the neighbourhood. ##### Mat Lazim A.

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. ##### Robyn L. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Corine d.

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.

Could throw a stone to the lake as well! ##### Ryan B. Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2022
