The best host among all I’ve come across. Enquire about bed setting days before our stay. Follow up closely of what we need during our 3 days’ stay. Bonus snooker table that we spent our night happily together.

Amazing accommodation

Beautiful accommodation in a beautiful location - Apartment was clean, tidy and luxurious. On our road trip around NZ we stayed at 7 different locations and this would be by far our top pick. Private location with all the comforts for a relaxing stay. Only a short drive to a major shopping complex and other attractions around Queenstown - great location to base yourself from to explore... Our family loved it - we didn't want to leave this amazing place!!

We had an amazing time with our kids. Very spacious and warm in the two bedroom suite. Beautiful surroundings and grounds that our kids loved, and amazing friendly service. We checked in very late and the key was waiting for us and the room warm and cosy. We hope we can stay again.

Small lodge with BIG heart

Super comfortable! The room, amenities, access to washer and dryer, friendly communication (and dog), really cosy and warm inside, small and effective kitchen with everything we needed. Beautiful bathroom and tub and we also noticed tennis rackets we could use which would have been ideal if we stayed longer. Everything was so thoughtful! Really great, would definitely consider staying again - thank you!

Beautiful big room, with kitchen, lounge, bathroom and the bathroom had undertile heating and a proper heated towel rail .. bed was a bit hard for us but the owners fixed that with a quilt and blanket on top of the mattress fir us 😁 The property is spectacular with manicured lawns places to sit and the views of mountains was at every turn 😁 So all in all ... brilliant place to stay
