Lyell captures the essence of Queenstown: an old Mt Lyell Mining cottage from the 1950s now renovated for your comfort while retaining the old mining town character. High quality percale sheets, a choice of pillow size and texture, heated bathroom floor, real leather arm chairs, air conditioning, well appointed kitchenette, great views. The bathroom has push-button floor heating, the mirror has anti-fog when turned on. The bedroom has a heater, electric blanket and an extra doona so you should never feel cold at night. The living room has air conditioning to cool in summer and warm in winter - you will always be comfortable. We believe that cleanliness is very important. So we employ professionals to do a really good job. They wash all the sheets, doona and pillow covers and towels every time. They vacuum and dust thoroughly. They clean and sanitise the whole bathroom. They get paid full Award rates, including extra on weekends and holidays. It's not cheap, but it's worth it Lyell guarantees comfort with character. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Electric car charging station on site - Parking on site ### Kitchenette - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator ### Dining - Free breakfast available ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - 6 steps to reach entrance - Area rugs in public areas - No elevator - Smooth flooring in public areas - Tile flooring in public areas - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Safety features - No carbon monoxide detector or gas appliances (host has indicated there are no carbon monoxide detectors or gas appliances on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Electric car charging station - Energy-saving switches in guestrooms - Garden - Property does not allow children - Unit size: 420 square feet ## Similar properties ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/120000000/119660000/119650500/119650449/cb9aa9cf.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Quentin's Cottage - a cosy retreat by Mt Owen - close to town and trails!
