Loved our holiday!
Awesome accommodation, super amenities, friendly hosts, we’d stay again in a heartbeat. Lots of “extras” made our stay incredibly comfortable.

Great apartment base for Frankton/ Queenstown
We had a great stay at John and Ann’s apartment in Frankton. It is in an interesting location great for exploring Queenstown and environs. Tis in a business park cleverly using second floor for living spaces- and surprisingly beautiful/ calm space/ views from the large back patio. Comfortable living room, bedrooms and great kitchen, and laundry. Short walk to grocery, pub, shops. Clear instructions, very timely communication, welcoming and nice local family history in pictures etc! Would happily return if back in the area!

Perfect stay
Would rate this higher if I could. Perfect in every way. John and Ann thought of everything to make the stay so comfortable. All you required was in the apartment. The view is so beautiful. And the place was very private and quiet.

Host was just lovely, even allowed us to drop of baggage early and carried it up the stairs for us. Property presented beautifully with hot soup and bread waiting for us on arrival. Views are amazing, and despite being in a business area, was still quiet and peaceful.

Comfortable Overnight Stay
We stayed just one night, and had a comfortable stay. It is conveniently located to the airport. It is a 10-15 min drive to downtown Queenstown. Owners were helpful.

Sophistication and Serenity
From climbing the stairs to meeting our lovely hostess, Ann, from being told about her family photos and adventures to sampling her delicious homemade soup and toasts, from soaking in the spectacular views to watching the aircrafts coming in to land our experience has been wonderful. Thank you so much Ann and John for all allowing others to stay in this beautiful apartment. Strongly recommended. Jim & Myra Laurenson and Ian & Eleanor Caldwell.

Close to the airport with great views
Appreciated the Nespresso coffee. It took a while to get the unit to cool down from very hot. We enjoyed the history and notes about the owners as well sitting on the balcony at night watching the planes come in. Overall a comfortable stay
