About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Perfect for 2-12 guests with AMAZING VIEWS!

Our family love staying at Cartref. Light and airy with big views, balcony off the kitchen, BBQ watching the sun go down or a short walk to town with its many wonderful restaurants, live music and clubs.... so much to do... Queenstown is the ultimate is a holiday destination, whether bungi jumping, mountain biking and jet boating are you thing or chilling with a book and a wine on the deck, there is something for everyone - all year round, young and old.
Our house is 30 minutes from Coronet Peak ski resort and 45 from the iconic Remarkables, close to all amenities, supermarkets restaurants and shops, Cartref is situated in a cul de sac at the bottom of Bob's Peak amongst some of the original baches of Queenstown. Biking and walking tracks to Ben Lomond start at the end of the road
Special conditions:
Whereas it is a house for groups and it is a fun house in a fun place. It is not a house for partying all night in as it is in a residential area with neighbours who work 24/7 - and who we have to get on with!
So we ask that you respect this and keep noise down after 10pm.

Pets and children are very welcome however the property is not fully fenced so they need to be monitored.

Linen is included
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 1.5 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

We had an amazing stay here in Queenstown! This was the perfect home for my husband and me. It was spacious, beautifully maintained, and incredibly comfortable. The views of the mountains were breathtaking and made every morning and evening so special.The location was ideal, so peaceful and quiet but still walkable to town, which we loved. Having a driveway was also a huge plus, since parking in Queenstown can be challenging. The home was very well equipped and thoughtfully set up, and Nicky was an amazing host. She was very responsive and easy to communicate with, and we truly felt taken care of during our stay. We would absolutely return and would recommend this property to anyone looking for a wonderful Queenstown experience!

The home is close to town, clean, comfortable, and incredibly well stocked. The views from the living room are breathtaking and the first two mornings of our stay, a pair of Tuis came to the tree at the edge of the deck for their morning conversation.
