Amazing accommodation
Beautiful accommodation in a beautiful location - Apartment was clean, tidy and luxurious. On our road trip around NZ we stayed at 7 different locations and this would be by far our top pick. Private location with all the comforts for a relaxing stay. Only a short drive to a major shopping complex and other attractions around Queenstown - great location to base yourself from to explore... Our family loved it - we didn't want to leave this amazing place!!

Super comfortable! The room, amenities, access to washer and dryer, friendly communication (and dog), really cosy and warm inside, small and effective kitchen with everything we needed. Beautiful bathroom and tub and we also noticed tennis rackets we could use which would have been ideal if we stayed longer. Everything was so thoughtful! Really great, would definitely consider staying again - thank you!
