Great stay while visiting Queenstown
The property was a hit with everyone. The games room, spa, sauna and views made the stay memorable. Every little details was thought of throughout the property, which made the stay incredibly relaxing. We didn't have a car the first few days, which made getting the bus to Remarkables a little bit tricky, but I would make slight changes next time to accommodate this as I would love to return to the property to stay again. The hosts were also great to deal with.

Amazing Home with Breathtaking Views
We are a large family who travels a lot so we often stay in rental homes when we can. We always look for the best accommodations we can find and we're not afraid to pay for the best. Most of the time we get a home that's as expected, sometimes we get a home that's less than expected but rarely do we get a home that's MUCH MORE than expected. This home blew us away. The home was extremely clean, very modern and the views were breathtaking. The kids really enjoyed having their own room to hang out in (pool table, big screen TV, pinball, darts, etc) and we enjoyed sitting by the fire discussing all the fun things we did that day. Everyone agreed, we would prefer to stay in this house vs any 5-star hotel.

Castle Cliff suited our family of ten perfectly: spacious bedrooms, well equiped kitchen, play room
This was a beautiful property and our large family thoroughly enjoyed every day of our 6 nights there. The house was fully equiped with everything we needed for our stay. To top it off, the views from every window in the house were stunning.

Castle Cliff Holiday
The home was perfect for our large extended family. Our 4 children loved the games room (as did Dad and Grand Dad) providing peace and quiet for the rest upstairs. Plenty of breakaway areas. Just relaxed and enjoyed the amazing views and activity on the Lake. Gym was perfect for quick workouts and Sauna and Spa where a perfect way to recover from hard days spent on the golf courses.
