Feb 1, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful setting, wonderful views This property is great for people who like to feel secluded and away from it all, but not too far away from amenities. In the evening we preferred to bring lovely food to the cabin and eat here, then wander the grounds and soak in the views. We’d definitely stay again.

Very peaceful and quiet. ##### Mary B. Stayed 2 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Julie S. Apr 4, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### On top of the world Lovely cottage tucked away in the hills with views for miles. We stayed for four nights and found everything we needed. I thought this property was a studio unit but it has a separate kitchen/dining area from the bedroom which was nice and felt more roomy. Very clean, very private. The sculpture garden was a bonus. Wasn't aware the tv had to be streamed via my phone but that was fine. Would stay again. ##### Julie S. Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Richelle A. Feb 7, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Luxury in hidden hills A beautiful cabin in a secluded and sheltered part of a stunning property. Great views and landscapes with the wonderful bonus of a sculpture garden to explore. Sunny is a wonderful host who greeted us and was only a call away if needed. There is a local chef just down the road who can provide meals which are delicious. You can explore the property and we also walked a DoC track to the Pisa range, which starts not far away. The cabin is very private and beautifully decorated with lovely touches. Highly recommend. ##### Richelle A. Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tracey E. Jan 14, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A special place The hosts were welcoming with clear directions on how to locate them. It has everything you need in a home away from home and is so modern. Whare iti in Queensbury is private and so peaceful just the sounds of nature At night time outside is so dark, I could see millions of stars. Their is a beautiful sculpture park and views all around are amazing. The linen and towels provided are high quality and the little extras were lovely, coffee beans, milk, tissues, paper towels, glad wrap, salt & pepper, moisturizer, hand soap and much more. I had a lovely time and plan to go back next year! Thanks Sunny :) ##### Tracey E. Stayed 5 nights in Jan 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### christopher c. Mar 13, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fantastic! If the typical south island accomodation isnt already secluded enough for you, this place brings it to the next level. Modern place (comfortable) but still rustic, excellent views of the valley/ mountain range across the way. Outdoor space is much nicer/ more expensive than listing pictures suggest at time of this review. Don't hesitate to book if outdoor privacy/ somewhere to sit and enjoy a view is critical. You will not be disappointed. Sculpture project nearby is an added bonus an really elevates the property. Two thumbs up! ##### christopher c.

Only issue was having to come home we loved the quiet and relaxation. ##### Chris H. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels near Rock and Roll Hall of Fame](https://www.expedia.ca/Rock-And-Roll-Hall-Of-Fame-Hotels.0-l6066275-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Nomads Rest](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-Tekapo-Hotels-Nomads-Rest.h27954748.Hotel-Information) > > [Beach Hotel in Barbados](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Barbados-Beach-Hotel.0-0-d16-tBeachHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [SoLo Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Victoria-Hotels-SoLo-Suites.h32393337.Hotel-Information) > > [Duc de Saint-Simon](https://www.expedia.ca/Paris-Hotels-Duc-De-Saint-Simon.h1542902.Hotel-Information) > > [Great Wolf Lodge Arizona](https://www.expedia.ca/Phoenix-Hotels-Great-Wolf-Lodge-Arizona.h33725739.Hotel-Information) > > [Valentin Imperial Rivera Maya All Inclusive - Adult Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Playa-Del-Carmen-Hotels-Valentin-Imperial-Riviera-Maya-All-Inclusive-Adults-Only.h1789787.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Toronto Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Toronto-Airport.h441192.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Downtown Seattle](https://www.expedia.ca/Downtown-Seattle-Seattle-Hotels.0-n800130-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotel Emion Kyoto](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Hotel-Emion-Kyoto.h45911447.Hotel-Information) > > [Mountainside Cabin along The Cabot Trail #1](https://www.expedia.ca/Big-Intervale-Cape-North-Hotels-Mountainside-Cabin-Along-The-Cabot-Trail-1.h55516753.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Lima (LIM)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/lim/toronto-to-lima) > > [Flights from Windsor (YQG) to Columbus (CMH)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yqg/cmh/windsor-to-columbus) > > [Flights from Los Angeles (ONT) to Kelowna (YLW)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ont/ylw/ontario-to-kelowna) > > [flights from london intl airport](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/airports/yxu/flights-from-london-intl-airport) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Edmonton (YEG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/yeg/toronto-to-edmonton) > > [Flights from Smithers (YYD) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyd/yyz/smithers-to-toronto) > > [Flights from Winnipeg (YWG) to Regina (YQR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ywg/yqr/winnipeg-to-regina) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Istanbul (SAW)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/saw/toronto-to-istanbul) > > [flights from windsor airport](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/airports/yqg/flights-from-windsor-airport) ### Cars > [Enterprise Car Rentals In Milton](https://www.expedia.ca/Enterprise-Car-Rentals-In-Milton.d55368-c15.Car-Rental-Guide-Suppliers) > > [Enterprise Car Rentals In Kelowna Intl](https://www.expedia.ca/Enterprise-Car-Rentals-In-Kelowna-Intl.d6033592-c15.Car-Rental-Guide-Suppliers) ### Activities > [Things to do in Playa Flamingo](https://www.expedia.ca/Things-To-Do-In-Playa-Flamingo.d6252841.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Bora Bora](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations/602861/Bora-Bora) > > [Floral Clock](https://www.expedia.ca/Floral-Clock-Niagara-on-the-Lake.d6186497.Vacation-Attraction) ### General > [Visit Bernkastel-Kues](https://www.expedia.ca/Bernkastel-Kues.dx177993) > > [Visit Antigonish](https://www.expedia.ca/Antigonish.dx5942) > > [Visit Lisboa Region](https://www.expedia.ca/Lisboa-Region.dx6307709) > > [Visit Shoal Lake](https://www.expedia.ca/Shoal-Lake.dx3000481169) > > [Visit Kolkata](https://www.expedia.ca/Kolkata.dx178244)
