Best view in Queenstown

We stayed for a week in December with family and friends and the location and accomodation was perfect! The most stunning views from the upstairs balcony to watch the sunset. The lower level bedrooms and kitchenette are private and very quiet from the rest of the apartment. The facilities had everything we needed. The hosts were lovely and very responsive.

beautiful view

Beautiful accommodation and the house is very well equipped and clean. Some improvement opportunity on the bed and pillow considering the price we are paying. But apart from that it was an enjoyable stay and we love the view from the balcony with a nice hot coffee in the morning.

Nice multi-level house for big families

We had a great time in Queenstown with extended family from overseas. The walk into town was quick and everything in the house was as described. We struggled to light the gas fire one chilly morning but got there in the end, also the network to the TV upstairs didn’t work but kids were watching Netflix downstairs so that one was fine, great having wifi all over the house.

Very functional space for extended family

this house was perfect for our two families to stay in as we each felt like we really had our own space as week as fantastic community spaces. It had everything we needed. Only two downsides are the queen beds are two beds joined together so a little uncomfortable in the middle join part. Also all the roads leading down to town being closed which mades things very difficult with a pram and 3 year old as the only way down was a steep staircase.

Dreamy weekend spot

The house was perfect for our group of 10 wanting a nice ski weekend away from the city. Space for everyone and kitted out with what we needed, all just a short walk from town. Thanks!

Stay at top of the lake

Great location. Awesome views. House is a bit tired - loose light fittings, broken barrier on bunk, heaters not working. Maintenance quick to supply alternative heaters.

Response from VrboOwner on 15 Jul, 2023
Hi Ruth, thank you for your review. We were not aware regarding the bunk and the light fittings, we always repair or replace any maintenance needed between bookings if made aware of the issues, so these will be fixed. We are quite surprised that you found the house tired as we have recently done a lot of renovations however we are pleased you enjoyed your stay and the views and hope to have you back in the future.
