Extremely cozy, Sarah is very thoughtful. I specifically picked it for the dvd collection and fireplace. I loved the additional touch with the aboriginal art as well. Quiet private street, had the best sleeps ;)

The inside of the house has clearly been fully renovated, while the exterior keeps its "original" state. Inside everything was spotless and well-organised. I loved the copper sheet center island bench in the kitchen, I want the same in my home now. A very comfortable stay,even got a delivery of wood for the fire ( which you will need when cold)A couple of practical notes for future guests: there’s no hair dryer provided and no internet or TV reception. Normally that might not matter, but during a spell of cold, rainy weather my wife really wanted to dry her hair and we found using our phones 4G reception a bit patchy for data (1 bar) so if you have work teams/zoom it may be a problem. Not deal-breakers, just something worth knowing when you pack, queenstown is remote.
