Cleaned to a very high standard and fitted out with quality homeware from the Le Creuset casserole to luxury bedding. This home was perfect for our large adult family with plenty of room. The only negative was not knowing that the house has an apartment attached to it with other occupants but I'd still rebook knowing this now. ##### jacqui g.

The house was just incredibly designed, with a style we really enjoyed. Views to die for! There's a lot of tech for very savvy TV, music and lighting. Loved that there was lots of room in the lounge and dining. The bedrooms were super comfortable and we all slept so well. We spent 5 nights here and would easily come again the next time we are in Queenstown. Totally worth the money spent. I also thought the location was not an issue and was very quick to get to Queenstown city when we needed to. Communication with the owner and agent was seamless and easy. ##### Lawrence F.

May 4, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing Place This is one of the best place I ever stayed in Queenstown. The house has an amazing view over Queenstown lake, picturesque scenary during the day and lovely night time view towards Frankton too. Very spacious home, 5 bedrooms with TV and heat pump in all the bedrooms + large TV by the lounge above fireplace + another separate cinema room which is great to enjoy and watch a movie. The house has everything you need, high quality fittings and kitchenware/diningware that is often hard to find from holiday homes. The house was professionally cleaned with impeccable decorations and furniture. Lots of space for parking, close by Kelvin Heights golf course. I would highly recommend this place and look forward to stay here again :) ##### Jenny C.
