Blue Skies Guest Accommodation, a property with a garden, is situated in Queenstown, 12 km from Skyline Gondola and Luge, 22 km from The Remarkables, as well as 24 km from Lake Wakatipu. This property offers access to a patio, free private parking and free WiFi. The property is non-smoking and is located 5.2 km from Queenstown Event Centre.

This place is AMAZING. We have stayed in hotels and vacation rentals all over the world and we found the best hostess and hospitality at Blue Skies. Before we even arrived, we got an email saying the room was ready early and to check in whenever we liked. Upon arrival, there were all sorts of goodies and breakfast items waiting for us. When we met Gerry, one of the first things she offered was to do laundry for us. Talk about going above and beyond. There were little personalized notes all over the room. She gave us ideas on places to go and places to eat. When we returned late from Milford Sound our laundry was folded and waiting for us. I promise you will not find a better hostess anywhere. I try to rate all the places we stay and most usually have good scores, but Blue Skies deserves better. At least a 12 out of 10 and a 20 for our hostess Gerry. You will not regret staying here.
