Summary:

REMARKABLES RETREAT 1 PROPERTY SUMMARY:

The Space:

ACCOMMODATION DETAILS:



Please note: Balcony access is temporarily unavailable due to complex-wide safety works, with access expected to be restored around mid-2025. Fortunately, the stunning lake and mountain views remain completely uncompromised and can still be fully enjoyed from the comfort of the apartment. Rates have been adjusted accordingly, and no additional discounts apply.



Hovering above the waterfront of Lake Wakatipu, you will find this delightful apartment. Comfortable and convenient, this is the ideal lock up and go property – no unnecessary stress on your trip. With stunning vistas and access to nearby walking trails, this home is a real gem.



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. Its décor is clean and contemporary, with furnishings that hark back to the rangy, mountainous landscape outside. 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.



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.

View and location was amazing. Checking was great. Wi-Fi great. We all were dissapointed the the verandah but shut off for maintenance and although was noted in the fineprint we didn't see this highlighted when we booked and it was a feature photo advertised Also cooking appliances (pans etc) in desperate need of replacing and need a new cleaner. Inches of dust on furniture. Still enjoyed the stay despite a few negatives.

Great Location & Lovely Accommodation

It was a great holiday in a lovely house. It would have been nice to have some tea and coffee available and some larger pans to cook for our number of 9 and since the house can accommodate 11.

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.

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.

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.
