The retro holiday home was in a great location. The up hill walk to get back from CBD was very doable. The house is retro but has everything you need! The view is spectacular! The host checked on us and answered all of our questions. Would stay there again!

We stayed here with 3 young kids and loved it. There was plenty of space inside and outside for them to play and for us to use. We could walk in and out of town, with amazing views and on a quiet street. Would love to stay there again

Queenstown House with wonderful view

This was a very roomy house for 6 people. It is a little dated and the curtains need replacing but it has a lot of character and is well positioned and well provisioned for our group. We had a very enjoyable stay.

A cosy step back in time

We wanted a cosy place for Christmas and this place was perfect for this! It was a step back to 60/70s which suited our family perfectly, lots of memories of our Grandfathers home which made it extra special. A few things that needed support with and the management team where quick and efficient it didn't effect our stay at all.

Stay in Queenstown

We loved our stay here! It had great views and was a short beautiful walk into town. We loved the home itself as well, it was very comfortable and we felt right at home. Thank you for having us! *There was an incident with one of the wineglasses. It broke while I was trying to wash it. We are so sorry! I wasn't sure how to communicate this since I couldn't find a way to communicate with the host.

Manual booking not organised

I did manual booking through the phone and was assure it was all good, with several emails confirming. However that day the property manager was not aware we were arriving and the house wasnt ready. The description was accurate, close to town but I was not aware of the steep hill to get there walking. First time in Queenstown so I didnt know about this. The house was clean but not deeply clean as expected. However beds were comfortable and heating system was perfect, showers and all. Would recommended yes but the booking system has its fails.
