THE SPACE
Our property is a luxurious property located in the sort after estate of Aspen Grove. Belvedere has without doubt, (please see our reviews) the best uninterrupted views of Queenstown town centre & one of Queenstown’s, we feel prettiest & best golf courses, which is virtually on an island. Belvedere overlooks the snow capped peaks of the remarkable mountain range. Watch the ever changing colours as the sunrises & sets, on the beautiful snow capped peaks of the Remarkables mountain range. From the left to right, watch the ever changing activities on Lake Wakatipu right up to Walter Peak. Enjoy watching the Earnslaw on its regular daily/nightly trips up to Walter Peak Farm & all the other interesting activities that are a daily occurrence on the lake. The list goes on & once you arrive you will never want to leave this beautiful vista
Belvedere our home is beautifully decorated, with the walls adorned with many original artworks from NZ, Australia & Asia. We have collected many pieces over our lifetime & many reflect areas that Garry & I, have very fond memories of visiting on our travels
To capture such magnificent views, our home is spread over 3 levels from the entrance, garages (flat level & please note our home does have stairs) each level promises you a different view from different rooms and areas
In November 23 we embarked on painting a feature wall in the living area & again hung some more artwork. We changed all the soft furnishings in this area, to reflect our Scottish heritage as well as the heritage of a lot of residents of the South Island
