    Wonderful spot to relax and take in the beauty of Queenstown.

    The towels were a bit tired and could do with replacing. The visitor guide has a few inaccuracies, such as Queenstown Hill being a 2-minute walk. Would be nice to have a guide for using the stove top. Google sorted us though.

    House was great, the European standard windows were amazing. So jealous I don't have them in my own house. Would be lovely to stay in winter and have the fire going just looking out at the mountains. Great food options close by and would totally recommend Kamana Lodge (The Nest) for dinner. We had a small issue when we got to the house, but the host sorted it for us immediately. This was hugely appreciated.

    Do not have social messager to support immediatly as Whatsapp or others, only by call, and traveller do not have local phone number to call, its cost me about RM100 only for oversea IDD call to owner for support.

    Lovely balcony with Amazing view, full equipment for kitchen and all tools using by homestay.

    I can't think of anything I didn't like.

    The view is amazing and the location is very quiet but still within walking distance to town if you don't mind the hills. The kitchen is fantastic and well equipped. The lounge room, bedrooms and bathrooms are very good and exactly as described. I loved making a coffee every morning and enjoying the view of the lake and mountains. I don't have one bad thing to say about the house, I loved it.

    Who ever owns this house have really thought about where they are. Everything is set out perfectly and the house is always warm! There are a few toys for kids around the house, which is lovely to see. Very reasonably priced and great amenities. Spacious rooms, lovely kitchen, cute outdoor area (even though it was freezing outside and we didn't use it, I can see someone enjoying it in the warmer months!) Oh and some of the best views around!!

    The stairs (just 1 flight) just meant we had to watch our toddler a little more carefully but that's not really of any fault to the property.

    House was very spacious and well-equipped. We were able to treat it like our home because it had absolutely everything we needed. the location was great, we have stayed in Queenstown a few times and much prefer Fernhill as its out of the busy areas but still accessible. This will now 100% be out go-to in Queenstown.

    Amazing House with spectacular views. We were blown away by how incredible it was. Its well designed to retain heat and I'd be interested in staying in cooler weather next time and see how it functions. Check in was smooth and the description was very accurate.

    only criticism would be that the dishwasher wasn’t working properly, and we needed to was the dishes. I’m sure this can be fixed though?
