The home has lots of room and was luxurious with most of the tiled floors heated and plenty of wood for the time that we were there. ##### Fontaine M. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Lisa C. Apr 10, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Incredible Lake Views Absolute lake front with incredible views! This is a large house with plenty of room for our group of 6 adults. It was in a quiet cul de sac and with very quiet neighbours in the attached unit. It was a great place to be based, away from the main area of Queenstown. ##### Lisa C.
