About this property

Couple's Retreat | Lakefront apartment

COUPLE’S RETREAT PROPERTY SUMMARY:
For a romantic getaway in beautiful Queenstown, this one-bedroom, lakeside apartment is spacious, with a stunning, rustic, Central Otago feel. The original schist walls of this home were built in the days of horse and cart – giving it a truly authentic, yesteryear charm.

ACCOMMODATION DETAILS:
Couple’s Retreat is a spacious apartment located under the main house of the property, in a beautiful lakeside location with access to all you could need during your Queenstown getaway. As you walk in through the front door and into the hallway, the laundry is on your left-hand side followed by your private bathroom. To your immediate left is the spacious, open plan living to enjoy during your stay. With a large dining table, 2 sumptuous couches, full kitchen facilities and a beautiful alfresco area, Couple’s Retreat will sweep you off your feet.

This property features a separate bedroom for added privacy, tastefully decorated, with a Queen-size bed and large floor-to-ceiling windows to capture the natural light.

Nestle down during those sunny afternoons in one of the many spots in the outside garden with a book, enjoy a glass of world-renowned Central Otago pinot as the sun sets, or dip your toes in your own little slice of Lake Wakatipu.

Couple’s Retreat is about 50 metres to the waterfront and famous Queenstown walking track – the Frankton Arm. Guests will have access to the property's own jetty and private dinghy; surprise your partner with a romantic boat ride out on the lake with that stunning alpine vista.

Couple's retreat is a hidden gem. Ground floor apartment on a block with lakeside frontage and access.Very well equipped, beautiful views and to top it off a beautifully maintained private garden.There is off street parking with easy access directly in front of the entrance to the property with only a couple of small steps to go down. We were greeted on arrival by Neil the owner. He showed us around the property and explained how all the appliances worked.He was very knowledgeable about the area and the history of the nearby buildings and gave us very good suggestions for activities and local amenities.However, I believe that the standard instructions are to access a key from a safe to enter the property, so if Neil is not there you may not get the personal tour. The property was quiet.The owners live upstairs but we experienced no noise.We had everything we needed including a lovely space heater for the cooler evenings, washing machine ( shared with owners) outside washing line and inside drying rack in case of rain and plenty of crockery and other kitchen equipment.There were outside chairs and tables and even a small apple orchard/ vine which we were allowed to take a few apples from. h charming owners. Would definitely book again. The bed was very comfortable and the bedroom was quiet even though the property is set back form a main road. Overall an absolutely charming property with charming owners. Would definitely book again.

Perfect Getaway
Thank you again for having us, we had a wonderful stay. The views were amazing (even in the rain!) and the little walking track along the river was a perfect way to end the day. Such a great location, only a 10min drive to Queenstown and such easy access to the roads leading to the mountains. We really appreciated the friendliness and welcoming accomodation of the property owner. Hopefully we’ll see you next time we’re in town!
