This home is in a perfect location - we were able to walk to everything downtown. There is a lot of space in this home! Absolutely loved the views and the outdoor space as well. All was clean and kitchen was well stocked with everything you might need. Lots of seating for dining was great as well.

4/10 Poor

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
Disliked: Cleanliness
There were good things about this property, the view, the newish oven, fridge, washing machine and dryer and the Nespresso machine but the hot water situation ( difficult to get adequate hot water and unable to get hot water for more than one location ie 2 showers could not run simultaneously, nor could the kitchen tap and a shower) was very inconvenient. This was only partly resolved after several complaints to the property managers who suggested temporary solutions which didn’t work. If you are renting a house which is advertised as sleeping 8, with 3 bathrooms, you are counting on adequate hot water. The mattress in the main bedroom really needs replacing as it’s very uncomfortable and the second double bedroom upstairs needs an extra power point or a double point behind the bed to enable 2 bedside lights. The bathroom linen supply was insufficient eg no bathmat in the ensuite which gets very wet. The kitchen is well-stocked. The house is pretty well-worn.

Wonderful views above Queenstown

The house was perfect for my family with four bedrooms and three bathrooms! We enjoyed the living space especially the lovely back nook with all the sunlight! The house was clean and comfortable with lots of character, but a few of the beds were too soft and lumpy. The location provided amazing views but we didn’t realize the huge hill between us and the town which made walking home a challenge. The host was friendly and accommodating!
