About this property

Great views across Frankton Arm to the Remarkables

  • The standalone apartment has had a remake and has changed into a ski chalet in the mountains with plywood interior.


    A apartment built about 20 years ago at the front of the Goldfields subdivision with fantastic unobstructed views across the Frankton Arm to the Remarkables. This apartment is perfectly positioned for water views, trails and very convenient to Queenstown central.

    Of note are the paintings in the hall way - two originals by artist JR McCormack of a two tulips, a Giclee Print of No 9 Gorge Road - the Qtn home of JR, a concept moon painting. Also a three piece Taos Box Canyon (a gift from JR)

    The second bedroom is the Olympic Ski Room with the main bedroom featuring a Taos Poster and an original from Brandi Beauvais - Coronet Peak on flowers. Other mixed photo art by Brandi can be found in the hall way and living room.

    Numerous mountain bike and walking tracks are accessible, across the Frankton Road. This main access to Queenstown has a bike path with access onto the Queenstown Trail providing great riding from Jacks Point all the way out to Gibbston Valley. In winter Coronet Peak, The Remarkables and Cardrona are just a short drive away.

    Convenient to the Airport and Remarkables Park shopping centre (3km). The apartment is minutes from both Queenstown and the Remarkables Park shopping center. Queenstown area has an abundance of things to do and this apartment provides a convenient and relaxing weekend or holiday base.

    There is off-street parking for one vehicle on the car deck. Steps lead down to the apartment.

    Unlimited free highspeed Wifi - internet.

    Review from Dec 2018: Even better than what is advertised, a beautiful location, home and very comfortable stay. The view is breathtaking. This home has everything you need. We will be recommending this peaceful home away from home to everybody! We didn't want to leave and look forward to planning our next trip here

    Extras: Cleaning (Required, NZ$230.00 per stay); Linen (included);

    The apartment is cleaned by Mountain Daisy using the Level 2 guidelines developed by Airbnb and by guidelines from Tourism Industry Aotearoa

Great location and house

We really enjoyed this house. It had beautiful views and had great interior design and furnishings. We had very good communications with the owner. There were 2 flights of stairs - one to get to the entry door and the other to get to the bedrooms that were available for our use. Not so easy with heavy luggage. Overall I would recommend this accommodation.

5 nights in Queenstown March 2024

We were able to communicate easily with Geoff. The place had lovely views, was reasonably centrally located... easy to get around with car or uber, which suited us. There was enough space... and BONUS... TWO LOOS! We would stay there again, no problem.

Beautiful view in quiet neighborhood - perfectly situated half way to shopping of Frankton and the center of Queenstown. But, the view of the mountains, great sunrises, and wonderful dusk colors are the true stars. Speaking of stars, on a clear night check out the cloud of the Milky Way. Great self-contained cottage with everything you need to have an enjoyable and comfortable stay. Very responsive hosts!

Q’town visit for NZ Golf Open

A friend and I spent four nights here and loved every minute. The linen on the beds was superb! Crispy, clean and delicious! We had everything there we needed and the view out over the lake was fabulous.The cleanliness was ok but not top notch…. for the extra cleaning cost we would expect it to be somewhat better. Floors not well cleaned and cobwebs about the place.BUT….. we really enjoyed our stay and would go back!

Wow

We stayed a week at Geoffs house and we had the most fantastic time. The property has the best view we have ever witnessed from a house window. You can virtually see the whole of Lake Wakatipu with the planes taking off close by. The house had everything we needed and more. Geoff’s advice helped us to make the most of our stay. We visited Milford Sound, Wanaka, Arrowtown, Cromwell races, went up the Gondola and did the luge ( fantastic) had a Ferg burger, did an evening cruise on TSS Earnslaw ( beautiful) , visited Altitude brewery, Glenorchy and Fracton. All were great experiences. Can’t wait to return to Queenstown and will definitely will be returning to Geoffs. ( sorry about the broken glass)

Really good value for money. Great location. Great views. Cosy and very comfortable beds. We really enjoyed our stay, however the cleaners have let the owner down with a dirty oven and floors needing attention. Would love to stay again though. Thoroughly recommend.

Million Dollar View and good place to stay

Geoff's place was perfect for us. The view of the lake and the mountains and with the beautiful dawns, sunsets, reflections on the lake and easy access to grocery shopping all made the state great. Geoff even emailed a few times to check that everything was going well. The weather was great for our visit and we made trips to other beautiful areas near by. Downtown Queenstown is very crowded and parking is very hard to find. The main road is just below the rental so there is some noise but the benefits of staying here out way any minor inconvenience. Queenstown area is an expensive place to visit but it is possibly the most beautiful place and we have visited lots of wonderful places on this planet. Walt and Kris Wogee, Skyforest, CA

Great view. Neat house!

The property was exactly what we expected. It had a real feel of a 'lived in' home. The kitchen was extremely well stocked with crockery, cutlery, pots, pans and dishes. The crockery did not all match which give the house the real sense of a bach. One element in the oven was not working but we managed without. The freezer door had been left ajar at some time and the freezer was was completely iced-up, so much so that the door would not close properly but defrosting was not difficult.The living area is not large and the only comfy seating was the settee and bean bags. This did not bother us and we were really only in the house to eat and sleep.

Perfect home away from home

The house was perfect for our family holiday. Beautiful views to wake up to each morning. Fully equipped kitchen, close to airport and Queenstown and The Remarkables and Cornet for skiing. Good heating, cosy house and had everything we needed. A couple of little things we were unsure of, but the host was quick with responses. Make sure you park on the road if you have a second car as we parked our daughters car hard against the deck not realising we covered the neighbours water access. Absolutely loved our stay and Geoffs House ticked alot of boxes for us. Definitely recommend if we visit Queenstown again we would definitely stay here.
