Great place for a family or a group of friends. Close enough to walk to everything but super easy and cheap to get Ubers if you prefer. Very clean and exactly as the description suggests. Would love to come back next year.

Beautiful property and kindly accommodated early check-in

This property has amazing views and is stylish and comfortable. We could walk to downtown Queenstown, but mainly took an Uber back up the hill. Neighborhood is quiet and friendly. We requested an early check-in after our 30 hour trip and it was so nice to have a place to land and regroup. Highly recommend!

Awesome house

The house was well equipped with everything we could have needed. Impressive view of the lake from the balcony. The fire was added ambience and warmed the upstairs beautifully. Only a 15 minute walk into QT. Half the walk was steep. 15 taxi ride. Use address 39 Kent street when using taxi’s and Uber. Would certainly stay here again.

Comfortable Stay & Great Location

We really enjoyed our stay at Central Lake Views. A fantastic location with amazing views from the balcony. The property was clean and had everything our family of five needed. The property is located at the top of a steep hill and is multi-level. We didn't have a car but enjoyed the daily challenge of walking up the hill from the nearby supermarket. We would definitely stay there again.

Great place to stay

Lovely spot and view. Be ready to climb some hills and it’s a bit inconvenient to have to walk all the way up and around the back. We suggest putting in some stairs or a cut through to Hallenstein Street. Also, needs a new can opener. 😊

Painful

We couldn’t travel to NZ due to a spinal injury to one of our children. We couldn’t move booking and partial refund completely out of question, which was fine, but dealing with Stays and Goodstays to obtain a simple letter for an insurance claim was utterly infuriating. Will never book a Goodstays managed property again.

Hi Adam Firstly, we are truly sorry that you feel the process let you down. I am sure that time was extremely stressful for you and your family. Looking back over our correspondence, in all our communications we were sympathetic to your situation and provided you with all the necessary supporting documentation for your insurance claim without delay. As your reservation had not officially been cancelled, we also provided you with a letter to add to the claim. We do appreciate your feedback and will certainly take it on board for future interactions of a similar nature. Best Regards, Goodstays.

Beware of Hill

The hill up to the property is no joke! Not for the faint of heart. Should look into making a deal with the hotel nearby with the direct staircase instead of having guests hike up and around. Communication with the host is difficult, they were a little rude to respond to questions. The address on the VRBO site and the information they sent didn’t match which was very confusing.

Thanks Corrinne Apologies you felt our communication was rude, having looked back over our messages I cannot see anything that would indicate or make you feel that way. All queries were answered promptly and always with please, thankyou's and warm regards. The location of the home and the walk into town is something out of the home owner and our control, to get the wonderful views that properties in Queenstown offer does come with steep hills that need to be worked around whether in hiring a vehicle, Uber, Taxi or walking, if fit and able bodied enough. The 6 Star exclusive hotel next door is private property and does not allow for the public to utilise their guests access so not an option. Thanks again Corrinne, All the best for the remainder of your travels Goodstays

Snow trip plus Queenstown area

Wanted to stay close to town for location - good view top level /lounge of lake & mountains. Good heating throughout. Well designed property internally- layout of living areas over 2 levels - dining/kitchen with lounge are split level so worked well with 4 teenagers + two adults for space. Good wifi. Good kitchen & appliances (can opener broken - broken ice trays in freezer). Good sized bathrooms (2). Asked for single beds in 2 rooms but got doubles in all - large main bedroom . Garage VERY tight & not permitted to park outside - we hired Kia Carnival - just made it into garage with prob 10mm each side after side mirrors closed- important in winter to get into garage for no ice in morning. So if going in large vehicle or with snow racks might not be able to park in garage which isn't great as on steep area & no parking outside each day. Everything was clean however there was one area of kitchen sink that had many months of grime built up under silver piece - once seen I couldn't unsee it. Limited rubbish (2garbage bags for 8 day stay) so I ensured I kept the whole week of 6 people to one rubbish bag so no drama/extra charge (daily we took bag with us/used bins at locations). Extra when someone had nose bleed & 20c size of blood - charged $88 for sheets. While the hill is steep it is mentioned on all reviews - can walk along Hallenstein street to stairs & easy 5m downhill walk to town - cost $25 taxi home. Spent each day out -needs more toilet paper left as ran out. Good stay

Thanks Roger, we really appreciate the thought and detail that went into writing and sharing your feedback. We were pleased to hear that you and the family enjoyed your time in Queenstown, we are glad that the property and its location suited your needs well. We totally understand the challenge with parking a larger vehicle, you can park outside the garage door as long as it does not block access to and from the complex by other vehicles. Our listing description does describe the three bedrooms as follows: Master Bedroom: 1 x King with ensuite, Bedroom 2: 1x King & Bedroom 3: 1 x King. Council does require a waste management plan be in place for short term visitor accommodation, the general waste allowance of 150 Litres per 7 days being slightly more than the weekly allowance using the council bin collected weekly. It is just cleaner and more efficient for us to manage the waste by collecting it and disposing of it at the transfer station, this avoids overflowing council bins when guests arrive outside of weekly bin collection day. As advised the dry-cleaning fee was for the King mattress topper, due to the blood having seeped through the sheets onto the topper rendering it unavailable for the next guest's stay. Thanks again Roger, all the best to you and your family Warmest Regards, Goodstays

Amazing view ! Great location !

This home was a dream!!! The views were stunning and only a short walk down town where there were tons of restaurants and shopping. Once downtown the walk back can be quite steep- there are TONS of cabs that will take you home with only a short 1-3 minute drive. The house was perfectly clean and so comfortable for my family! Would highly recommend. Can’t beat this view!
