Location:
Just a short boat ride away on the local water taxi or 20 minute drive, Queenstown offers a wide range of activities, from adrenaline-pumping adventures to world-class dining and shopping.

Neighborhood:
Kelvin Peninsula is located on the shores of Lake Wakatipu in the Otago region of New Zealand. It sits between the main body of Lake Wakatipu and the Frankton Arm — a short inlet on the lake’s northern shore — near the point where the lake flows out into the Kawarau River.
Getting Around:
There is a public bus stop located on Peninsula Road about 5 minutes walk from the apartment.
You can also catch the water taxi from Bay View (located 10 minute walk from the apartment) which takes you to Queenstown CBD.
Other things to note:
Steps: Access is via steps, which may not be suitable for those with mobility issues. This apartment is below the main house where the owners live.
The T&C's for staying at a Tahuna Hideaway will be sent to you before arrival.
