Beautiful retreat; great place to...
Liked: We really enjoyed our stay. The grounds and the views of the mountains and surrounding area are beautiful. The pool and hot tub were delightful after days of hiking, biking, or other activities. The living room/dining area, kitchen, and balcony provided a really nice place to hang out and relax. If you've been staying in smaller motels or accommodations, it's great to have a place to unpack and spread out--especially if you're lucky enough to be able to stay 3-4 days as we were. We weren't expecting to see the night sky so clearly in the Queenstown area, but the views at night from the property were stunning. Although this is outside downtown Queenstown by a 15-minute drive, it is minutes away from activities we were interested in: lots of hiking and biking options, Arrowtown and the Gibbston wine region, and for our departure--the airport! Appreciated that the hosts provide access to bikes and laundry, and were very accommodating. This is a wonderful place for couples and for families.
Disliked: We found everything to our liking. If you're interested in bringing in some food for breakfast or other meals, the PAKnSAVE in Frankton is a close-by option.

We loved our stay here!...
Liked: The room was so spacious and clean, the facilities and grounds were great with so much room for my toddler to run around right outside our room. The bed is one of the most comfortable beds I’ve ever slept in!
Disliked: The walls are thin, our neighbours were very loud quite late at night which made it difficult for us to all get to sleep.
