Lovely stay. The house was beautiful. It had huge windows overlooking the lake and we got to watch a lightning storm.

Beautiful location

Stayed at this listing with groomspeople for a wedding. Beautiful lake front location with view and access to the lake by short walk. A great deck to enjoy also. Warm house with great heating an well stocked amenities and toiletries.

What an amazing place

Just the place we needed for our adult family trip to Queenstown. The home was spacious and comfortable for the 6 of us while being a short distance from town. The house had everything we needed for the weekend and the views and sunsets are simply stunning. Would definitely come back.

Family Stay in Queenstown

Stairs were not shown (How steep it really was). Had mould in rooms and was quite run down. Going down to the lower level to the toilet for everyone was not ideal. View and location were great.

Let the view take your breath away

The property has age on it , but the views and accessibility to town outweighs this .. Not good for people with mobility issues. But this is mentioned in the description of property.. absolutely loved our stay there and will definitely revisit again . Great amenities with a fabulous kitchen to cook in . Fireplace was a welcome comfort on cold nights .

Exceptional

The view from the deck is incredible. You could stay there all day just starring into the distance. The houses accommodated the 5 of us perfectly. The parking of the car was a little difficult down the steep driveway but apart from this it was brilliant

Million dollar views, in a great location. They're not kidding about the driveway, gave my wife a couple of heart attacks getting in and out. They place needs updating and a good clean....but we kinda knew that when we booked from other reviews. If you want an absolutely stunning view, in a great location and don't mind the .... interestingness ....of the property it's great.

The View!

The view was absolutely amazing! Like the description says, it is an older house and the driveway is a bit tricky, but because we knew that ahead of time (from the description and an email from the property manager) we knew what we booked and the house worked perfectly for our group.

A stop on a 4 week tour of south island

Read the property description and it sums it up really well. The property is in a fantastic location and if you are lucky like us and have good weather sitting outside on the terrace is great. Sitting inside is great too. The bbq was out of gas so we did not use it but the kitchen was great. Look closely and it needs some care but look at the view and it is all good.

Magnificent views

The property has the best views of the lake and surrounding mountains. There was plenty of room and kept us warm in the colder temperature. It is an older property that needs some maintenance and a deep clean. The driveway is very tricky to navigate as per the description, but we couldn’t find anywhere else to park.

Beatiful views

Our family of five had a lovely stay here. The house itself was fabulous - so quirky and interesting. The views from the house over the water were absolutely stunning - watching Lord of the Rings (we’re visiting NZ so we felt compelled!) with the mountains in the background was surreal! Do make sure that you have read the description about the steepness of the drive - my husband managed it but I would not have been able to manage it!

The view was picturesque, great communal spaces, rooms are well set up and bathrooms stocked. Only downfall was the driveway ~ very sketchy to drive in and out of. Would be hard for unconfident drivers. Almost missed it too. Other than that we couldn’t fault the place. One suggestion ~ if the property is listed as family friendly maybe have a small amount of toys. Again, just a suggestion

The view saves the day

The view is amazing. Interesting and beautiful in all kinds of weather and times of day. The washer and dryer worked well. However, there are some things I wish I had known before booking:The driveway is scary-steep, which the host does disclose when confirming the booking. If you are not a confident driver, you won't be able to do it. There are 41 steps from the covered parking to the front door.The house and everything in it look to be at least 30 years old. Some of the furniture and decorative accents are past their useful life. At minimum, new, thick towels and new pillows and bed linens would make a huge difference in guest comfort.

Fabulous Views, amazing stay, great host.

The house was comfortable for our group, 2 parents, son and his friend. The views from the house are absolutely incredible, and we were blessed with the weather so had spectacular views of the lake and mountains every day. The house itself is a tiny bit dated, but this did not matter at all as it was fully equipped with everything you need, including a fabulous wood burner which kept the upstairs nice and warm. Each bedroom also had a heater and very comfy bed. The walk into Queenstown is along the lake and takes about 20-25 minutes, a lovely walk, with amazing views, there are several supermarkets and shopping area a 5 min drive away. Our host Cherifah was fantastic and so helpful, accommodating my extra requests. I would highly recommend this accommodation to anyone. Thank you for a fantastic stay and wonderful house.

Leaks!

The location of the property is fantastic and the description is generally accurate. However, we would never have rented this property had we known about the leaks in the property. It wasn't enjoyable sitting in the property during 2 days of rain. The leaks have obviously been there for some time and were known to the owner, causing damage to the floor and resulting in damp and mould downstairs. One of the bedroom heaters didn't work, nor did the electric blankets in the main bedroom. Overall, the property is quite neglected and probably worst holiday rental we have hired in New Zealand. We won't be coming back.

We had the most wonderful stay here! Incredible view and was a great location just out of Queenstown - easy walk to town. The apartment had everything we needed, the fireplace and warm heating made it super comfortable. Just a great set up and perfect for two families to stay side-by-side. Access down to the entrance door is steep but this was noted. Worked for us really well. Kitchen was well equipped, plenty of space for all and a great viewing deck topped it off! Thanks so much, was wonderful! Communication was good and helpful when we extended our stay.

Quirky but spectacular

This is a quirky property - built like a boat with bedrooms below and a balcony poking out over the lake like the bow of a ship. The views are spectacular and the property is very convenient to the city - just a short walk along the lake path.
