What a beautiful location as you pull up to this wonderful home with the views of Coronet Peak in the background and the Shotover River in the valley below.Martin was a fantastic host, taking us through all of the nuances of the home which are many! From the underfloor heating, split system air-conditioning, and remote controlled sunblock blinds, to the huge private outdoor spa with all of the bells and whistles.The home was extremely private and well presented, with all of the welcome additions such as the coffee machine and modern appliances. The double bed that can be easily inserted back into the wall during the day was also a great added extra.We'll definitely be returning if you don't book it first!

Friendly hosts and the place is immaculate and very comfortable. I wouldn’t call it a 2 bedroom place though, when the 2nd bed is in the lounge and gets no privacy. It’s also very bright and hot in the morning. Would have been better with block out blinds

We stayed here for 4 nights and can't stop raving about it to our families and friends. Martin is such a friendly and knowledgeable host, full of great recommendations and the property is immaculate, high end, and so very comfortable, especially for our family of 4 with our 6th and 8th grade daughters. Huge kitchen area, fully stocked, the bathroom and laundry were beautiful, and the second, half bath was super convenient for us. The area is beautiful, we spent the evenings in the hot tub looking out at the beautiful views and then stargazing once dark. Very close to great walks, also only 3-5 minutes drive to a big shopping area with restauarants, stores, supermarkets. Perfect location if you want to avoid the hubbub and touristy downtown Queenstown area. Would not stay anywhere else if/when we return to the area. Just an absolutely beautiful property!

Excellent new home away from the noise but close to everything.

Enjoyed this beautiful home just outside of Queenstown. The home is new and perfectly designed. The view is amazing. We enjoyed the hot tub, but there is an extra charge for using the hot tub to help with cleaning. The beds were comfortable. Check in with Jo was great. She has a wealth of information about the local places to go. We hope to come back again soon.

Secluded Luxury

What a fantastic place. A completely seperate self contained wing of the main house which opens out onto its own outdoor area complete with spa pool. With views of coronet peak and countryside this is the perfect place to unwind. Underfloor heating keeps the flat toasty and it roomy and spacious for 2-4 people. Would highly recommend

Why stay anywhere else?

Stunningly beautiful spot - looking right at Coronet Peak. Very comfortable and stylish too. Beds so sleep-inducing, especially after a star-lit spa soak. The pull-down bed is really comfy, in case you were wondering. Kitchen and living area is perfect - everything you need (and more) is there. Lots of space to spread out. Hosts are thoughtful and attentive, if needed. Couldn’t have had a better experience.

Tranquility in easy reach of Queenstown

Ten minutes to the Airport and Arrowtown, and twenty to Queenstown. Newly and well equipped accommodation with all of the kitchen facilities you would expect in your own home. Ask for the hot tub which is private and with no light pollution affords a good view of the night sky and Coronet Mountain during the day. Sky TV with Sports Channels is a bonus.

Great Stay :)

Very lovely place! Was super clean and tidy. Equipped with everything you could need. The bed was really comfortable. Out of the way of the busy town centre but such a close drive. Views are beautiful. Jo and Martin were friendly and helpful. Showed us around then gave us our privacy. The only critique I have is it wouldve been nice if the front door was obscure glass not clear as it wasnt 100% private. Would definitely recommend this place! :)
