About this property

Historic Stone Cottage Apt 1- spa - 3 min from town

  • Do you want to have a memorable stay in the Historic Stonehouse on Queenstown Hill. A beautifully presented 3 bedroom 3 bathroom house within a 5 min walk to downtown Queenstown.
    The Historic Stone House was built in 1874 for the Mayor of Queenstown, Thomas Betts. Beautifully preserved, this heritage building features three boutique apartments that can be rented separately or all together and are just a short two-minute walk from the centre of Queenstown.

    Stunning Queenstown alpine views, and a hot tub in the garden, this landmark historic house combines old world charm and traditional 1870s architecture with the 21st century comforts you would expect to find in quality accommodation.

    The main house has been split into 2 apartments.
    - Apartment 1 sleeps 6 people and is fully self-contained with 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, full kitchen and dining plus large living area.

    Standard configurations
    - Bedroom 1 and 2 each have a king bed (we can split beds into singles on request)
    - Bedroom 3 has 2 singles (room is large enough to house a rollaway bed if you have an extra person)
    - 2 of the bedrooms have their own ensuites
    - Family bathroom with bath

A great house to stay in Queenstown

This accomodation is a brilliant place to stay, we stayed for 5 night, the place is very clean, a great size for families, we are a family of 4 our kids are in their 20’s we never felt on top of each other, it’s large enough and having 3 bathrooms is fantastic The seperate lounge room with open fireplace was a great addition The walk into town is quick, the return not so quick, but a great workout! I thoroughly recommend this accomodation, we will be back next year for sure !

This was a wonderful opportunity to stay in a historic home with all the cool features and history of an old stone house with modernized conveniences. We were minutes away from dining options. We highly recommend a side trip to nearby Arrowtown.

Neat place to stay in Queenstown. The location is great and only a few minutes walk from shops and restaurants - just make sure you don’t mind walking up a hill to get back. It is a little rustic inside, but that is part of the charm. It is clean and well supplied and the beds are very comfortable. We loved our stay!

Great Location but ...

Many roads / paths that would have made going into the CBD were closed due to construction, making both walking and driving difficult.

4/10 Poor

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
What a shame the beds are of very poor quality. You could feel the springs and a slit exposed the interior of 3cm foam, thin polyester wrapped around steel wire frame and exposed springs. It easily sagged like a hammock which was especially bad for the couple on the larger bed. I could easily fold the single in half. Made by Ferryway likely the commercial division. All others on their site looked like quality. Four nights of switching beds, consolidating linens&duvets to make more comfortable, ultimately moving to sofa in lounge which was infested with bedbugs that really did a number on me the last night. I appreciated the nice mattress pads delivered by the manager but it did not fix the underlying problem of a bad mattress. The house, location, amenities, cleanliness, and quick initial response from manager was great. But this is Queenstown, a tourism gem for NZ. A good nights sleep is so important, you can't go cheap on the beds! I'd return if they sorted the beds.
