Dunstan Times

Clyde

Dunstan Times is set in Clyde. Located 2.9 km from Two Paddocks, the property provides a garden and free private parking.

The Dunstan Times has a patio and garden views features a living room, a flat-screen TV, an equipped kitchenette with a microwave and a fridge, and a bathroom with a shower. We loved this property so much. Right in the middle of Clyde, in fact, right on the footpath in a beautifully renovated timber cottage that we believe used to house the newspaper, the Dunstan times. So tastefully done, everything you could need for a comfortable stay inside the unit, with a bonus of a lovely little veranda out the back soaked in sunshine in the afternoons.

River Rock Estate is a 1-hour drive from Queenstowns main ski fields, Coronet Peak and The Remarkables Ski Area. It is a 40-minute drive from Queenstown Airport. It is adjacent to the Wooing Tree Vineyard. The room and the property are so amazing and beautiful, exactly like the photos. We were very happy when we checked into our beautiful accommodation. The wine tasting at night was a great way to meet other people staying there. We had such a good time talking to the other guests and the hosts Graeme and Jan-Marie who are so welcoming and friendly, it was a really lovely time. We also booked a hot tub for the second night and WOW how amazing it was when we walked in, all the little added extras just made the whole experience so romantic. We definitely will be back to try the others!! Thanks so much Graeme and Jan-Marie for making our trip one will always remember ❤️
