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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Fantastic.
We had a fantastic stay here. The house itself was excellent. It was well equipped with heating for the cold weather (heaters in every bedroom, heated blankets, heat pump in the living room and a fireplace). The house was in a great location, you could walk into town within 20mins along a path accessible from the house that runs around the river or it is a short drive into town. I hope to come back again!

Great house with fantastic views
We absolutely loved our stay at this house. Fantastic views, nice big open plan space upstairs and three good bedrooms downstairs. It’s an older, quirky property so doesn’t feel hotel style luxury but we much preferred it to that style of place. Good wood burner, heat pump upstairs and in the master bedroom with electric heaters in the other bedrooms so easy to get the whole place cosy. Nice big bath. Driveway is steep but fine with flat bit at the bottom and garage. Only minor grumble would be that better pans and a bit more crockery would be good but there’s enough to get by with. If you like cooking, useful stuff to bring would be a decent frying pan, wooden spoon/spatula, a big chopping board and a good knife. The owner was great to deal with. All in all a fab place and we would definitely stay again.

Older building, clean and convenient, great for family vacation
It has a beautiful view, is clean and convenient. The access is a bit challenging. Great for a family holiday. The building is showing its age in places but this doesn't impact negatively on the accommodation.

Great location, Awesome views and easy 3 min drive to town. Uber only $10. Fireplace was nice to have as it was quite cold weather. Only thing we found a bit annoying was no decent frying pan. They were very old and need replacing. Apart from that was perfect for our stay.

Entre place really well equipped with everything you needed to cook, relax, sleep and keep warm. Really good position on lakeside not far from QT central. Only thing would be to hire four wheel drive for short steep drive into the garage. Would totally recommend.

Hi, I have live in Queenstown for 20years an have enjoyed the wonderful beauty and adventure Queenstown has to offer. I manage this property for my Dad who lives out of town.

Why they chose this property

We were drawn to this property for it unique location and design.

What makes this property unique

It is close enough to town but still far enough away. The unit feels like your hidden paradise and from certain areas of the unit you can feel like you are floating on the lake.
