The view from the property was beautiful. The room was clean, large, nicely decorated and quiet. After a day of hiking we enjoyed the use of the hot tub.

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!!

We had an amazing time with our kids. Very spacious and warm in the two bedroom suite. Beautiful surroundings and grounds that our kids loved, and amazing friendly service. We checked in very late and the key was waiting for us and the room warm and cosy. We hope we can stay again.

Small lodge with BIG heart
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!

Beautiful big room, with kitchen, lounge, bathroom and the bathroom had undertile heating and a proper heated towel rail .. bed was a bit hard for us but the owners fixed that with a quilt and blanket on top of the mattress fir us 😁 The property is spectacular with manicured lawns places to sit and the views of mountains was at every turn 😁 So all in all ... brilliant place to stay

Easily the best of the 10 hotels we visited in NZ
This place is absolutely gorgeous and is located in the most beautiful valley in the Queenstown area. It is the perfect romantic getaway from the touristy main-Queenstown centers. You get spectacular panoramas of the valley, the darkest skies to see the milky way, all in the comfort of an elegant country home. The best hotel we stayed in our long NZ honeymoon without a doubt! If you are also thinking about Queenstown being crowded, too busy/loud, not enough parking, and want to get away from that be close enough to visit, this is your spot.
