Family Holiday to Queenstown

The property was perfect for our large group of family members. Lots of space for us all to be together. Spectacular views and in easy distance to the centre of town if you have a car. The property was clean, well looked after and came with some small touches that made our lives easier (eg a kitchen with Tupperware we could use).
