A lovely warm, comfortable house in a quiet location, with great views. The kitchen was well- equipped for self-catering, with just enough crockery for the 4 of us. We would happily stay here again.

Lovely stay at Lake Hayes Estate

We loved our stay at Huxley Place! It was the perfect location for us, slightly out of the chaos and traffic of Queenstown. Closer to the mountains for skiing and Arrowtown.Very comfortable, cosy and well set up. Thank you!
