Reviews
A beautiful, spacious and centrally located house. We loved the view to the mountains, the interiors are well appointed and the heating is solid. No faults at all, you’ll love it.
Perfect winter location, spectacular views of the lake and mountains which were capped with snow during our stay.
The apartment was 5 star and had everything to make your stay memorable. Comfortable beds, beautiful furnishings, luxurious towels, heated towel rails with were fantastic and heated flooring in parts of the building….so good!
The wood heater was great, and there were plenty of heaters on each level to keep the entire building cosy and warm. We were unsure about the heating the first night, however after a message to our host, Leo was quick to respond and in no time we were all very cosy.
Leo was a great host, responding to our queries promptly….thank you Leo!
I couldn’t have wished for a nicer place to stay with my family to celebrate my 60th birthday.
Very impressive place, perfect views, super responsive and helpful host. Photos exactly the same as the actual place.
Beautiful property with an incredible view. It was the perfect base for our family holiday. We loved the fireplace and the well-heated BBQ area, which made it easy to enjoy the outdoor space even in winter. We would return in a heartbeat!
The home is gorgeous with incredible views. The bedding is very comfortable and showers have great water pressure. Would definitely recommend/stay again.
Will definitely stay here again if we come back to Queenstown. Though it was rainy the views were amazing. Very clean and well stocked with towels and coffee. Can’t say enough of how great this place is.
Beautiful home in stunning location, one of the best places I’ve stayed. Made for the perfect stay and some great memories.
We will definitely be back! We absolutely loved our stay here. Just phenominal
