The layout of this house was ideal for us with the parents on the top floor and 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms for 3 teenagers on the bottom floor. We also loved the location and walked into town every day.

Excellent location, perfectly sized and set up for privacy
We had an excellent stay at the Outlook. The property was perfectly set up for privacy, with Nanna and Grandad able to take the top floor while our family took the floor with 3 bedrooms. The views were incredible and the kitchen was well equipped. Thank you Deborah and team.

Perfect location in Queenstown.
Great location only a short walk into Queenstown centre. Amazing views overlooking the lake. The kitchen is very well equipped with everything you could need, warm with underfloor heating in most rooms and a fireplace in the living room - perfect for the cold winter in Queenstown. Electric blankets and luxurious bedding throughout. We had a family of 6 and there was ample room for everyone. We would highly recommend the outlook.

The Outlook
The house was near perfect. Comfortable and warm, plenty of room, log fire and amazing views of the lake and mountains. We had the best of times. Bathrooms are all good. In fact the only thing we could comment on was the knives in the kitchen were a little blunt! Hardly a game changer! Thank you, "we will be back"

Queenstown adventure
We had a nice stay at the Outlook. Incredible views and very close to downtown. Our three adult children had their own bedrooms on the floor above the garage and we took the penthouse floor on the fourth level. The heated floors in the living area and kitchen were very nice since it was pretty chilly in late July. The garage is small and not easy to enter with a larger car. We had a small SUV so not too bad. Would have given 5 stars but the clothes dryer was not working properly. The owner said they had to replace it and could not get a contractor until after we left.

great home
more than we expected! great sized accomodation for large families, or groups, house was warm and had underfloor heating which helped us not have to light the fire each night. one thing to note when you do light the fire is to make sure the wood is sitting right at the back it got a bit smokey for us, other than that the house had all we needed!

Another Fabulous Stay
Second visit to The Outlook for us this year and again it was absolutely fabulous. It is always super clean and tidy when we arrive and it is has everything you need for a comfortable and relaxing home away for home stay. We even got to use the back courtyard this time and it is a little sun trap and very private. We'll be back!

Weekend getaway
The Outlook was perfect for our family getaway. The house was comfortable, warm, spacious and incredibly well equiped. The location was excellent and an easy walk to town. The desk/study in the master room was an added bonus and meant I could work from home. Will definitely choose The Outlook again.
