Exceptional
Liked: The Homestead exceeded all expectations! Ann and Blythe went out of their way to make our every comfort. We had the 3-course dinner which was better than any restaurant meal we had in Queenstown, and they made us feel so welcome in their beautiful home. The photos do not do it justice - it’s the most perfect stay.
Disliked: Wish we stayed longer!

Truly exceptional
Liked: The hosts were wonderful. We arrived after a long drive and were offered a delicious glass of wine as we relaxed in front of a crackling fire. Our room was lovely and very comfortable. Breakfast was amazing. Huge selection of homemade foods. We wish we had planned to stay longer.

Beautiful location but don't choose...
Liked: The location was superb! However we booked the "queen studio" which is a separate building to the main house. The space is probably a converted shed or garage, quite narrow with no luggage storage space. There was a musty/damp smell on entering the room, and there were 2 heaters on, I'm guessing to keep the damp at bay. The bed is against the wall, so access from one side only, and is raised so high that a wooden step is required to climb into and out of it. Someone with disability issues would definitely struggle. The breakfast was included, however you make it yourself from the items provided (eggs, bread, yogurt, fruit, muesli etc) which was fine but unfortunately by the second day the bread had begun to grow mould.The owner never came near us on the two days that we were there so we were unable to give feedback directly. So be careful if you're booking this place! The reviews for the house itself look really good, so I'd recommend you stay in the house.

Liked: The rooms had a touch of luxury about them. There was water and chocolates too. We had fresh coffee on the terrace when we arrived, and there was always tea and coffee and biscuits available.
Disliked: Our room although beautiful, wasn’t quite ensuite. We had a roomy bathroom all to ourselves with shower and spa bath but it was over the hallway.

Amazing location, amazing hosts, really...
Liked: The room was quiet and comfortable, wonderful hosts. Great seating areas inside and out on veranda to read a book. Truely special place to visit. The breakfast was perfect, exceptional fruit salad and poached eggs. The hot tube is just what I needed and very much enjoyed a couple sessions before heading to bed. There was a nice view over the gardens from the room. In conclusion this is a 5* luxary place to stay..
