Kelvin Garden Villa

We have a lovely stay and the host were super warm and helpful through out our entire stay. We were not aware though that it is kind of a home stay as you share the kitchen facilities and the kitchen area with the hosts as they too stay on the other side of the villa. The Garden was very beautiful and serene…. Very peaceful.

De vriendelijkheid en gastvrijheid van de gastheer en gastvrouw

Ergens een beetje raar om door de woonkamer van de eigenaar te moeten lopen naar het gedeelte waar je verblijft.

The hosts were super friendly and welcoming. When we arrived in Queenstown, we had an unexpected situation and they kindly picked us up from the airport, which was really appreciated. They also gave us lots of great tips on things to do and places to eat when they found out we didn’t have any plans. The room was very clean, the bed was really comfortable, and there was a lovely garden right outside.

One small thing to note is that, compared to staying in the town centre, you need to take a ferry to get into Queenstown each day. It’s very easy and convenient, but it costs NZD 14 per trip. On the bright side, the area is quiet, peaceful, and beautiful, which made the stay very relaxing.

Beautiful garden. The room was spacious and clean. The location is 20 min drive from Queenstown, we liked the quiet neighborhood and the view of the lake. The hosts are very pleasant and their hospitality was excellent, though it was quite difficult to communicate with them.

We had an amazing stay! David and Amy who welcomed us were absolutely exceptional – kind, attentive, and truly made us feel at home. Every detail of our stay was thoughtfully taken care of, and their hospitality went above and beyond. The room was spotless, cozy, and beautifully decorated. We couldn't have asked for a better experience, Kelvin Garden Villa has a special energy. Highly, highly recommended!

This was a lovely property and the hosts were very hospitable and even made us breakfast. The room was warm, the bed was comfortable and the bathroom was spacious and well presented. In addition there was a lounge overlooking Lake Wakatipu, with wonderful views.

Beautiful location with great view; beautiful home with gracious hosts

Can get hot during the middle of the day, would benefit from having a fan available. Location was somewhat far from downtown which is the center of tourist activity

Everything is nice, I spent 5-6 hrs just chatting with owners. Right next to deer park. Their vegetable in the garden, don’t miss it.

The police in the neighborhood, don’t fine me again! Every time I came NZ, I had to pay extra 150 NZD.

David and Amy are exceptional hosts and their accommodation and hospitality is second to none. We highly recommend if you are visiting Queenstown. 10 out of 10

Lovely touch with fruit from the garden. Very clean You could take a water taxi to Queenstown very easily

Pillows were hard Public transport was unreliable

David and Amy were exceptional host, very friendly and had prepared a flawless area to spend the night. The views across to Queenstown are spectacular and the area is very quiet allowing a great nights rest!

Could not fault the accommodation at all.

Great Villa right in front of Lake Wakatipu

I recently had the pleasure of staying at here and I must say, the experience exceeded my expectations in every aspect. Location:The hotel boasts an unbeatable location in the heart of the city, making it incredibly convenient for us to explore the local attractions. Everything we wanted to see was within walking distance, and the proximity to public transportation options made our outings beyond the city center effortless. Environment:The ambiance of the hotel was both elegant and welcoming. Our room was spacious, immaculately clean, and thoughtfully designed with comfort in mind. The bed was exceptionally comfortable, ensuring a good night's sleep after a day of exploring. The views from our room were breathtaking, adding a special touch to our stay. Overall, our stay at here was delightful.

The accommodations proved to be significantly misleading, deviating from the advertised description. Accessing the bedrooms necessitated traversing the host's personal living room, while the kitchen was situated within their private living area. The absence of a private kitchen contradicted the expected definition of a suite, leading to a lack of privacy. Additionally, communication posed a significant challenge as the hosts had limited proficiency in English. Furthermore, the public nature of the swimming pool, coupled with its unsatisfactory condition—green in hue—failed to meet expectations. The spa pool, unfortunately, was not assessable for commentary due to its non-visibility.
