The pictures don’t do justice to the views from this property. We all just wanted to sit in the window all day! I took hundreds of pictures because I couldn’t get enough.
The place was spacious and we really enjoyed our time as a family of nine here! Our stay here just added to the magic of our visit to Queenstown!
4.8
Pictures actually don’t do this place justice, I expected views and a comfortable place, but in reality views are spectacular. From the kitchen, the bedrooms and especially the outdoor spa. It’s such a great escape place for a bunch of friends or two families. Highly recommend!
4.8
The property itself is older and needs some work. The heating could have been a little better, the fireplace unfortunately smoked the house out, but the views and location made up for it tenfold. Will definitely book again, its perfect for bigger groups.

Amazing views and close to town with a good local shop and chip shop at the end of the road. Older property internally but clean and looked after.
4.8
Fantastic property in a brilliant location. Views were unobstructed and and absolutely incredible. Property is a little older, but photos are a true depiction of what to expect. We were two families staying for a week and we were very comfortable with plenty of space in the middle of winter. So quiet and easy to get around. Would highly recommend and would love to go back!

Honestly cant rate this property highly enough. Ample room for my family of 9, stunning views and a quick commute to town.

Very nice spot . The view is unbeatable. Only coment would be the need for some maintenance.... toilet roll holders loose .... bathrooms are due for an update. Otherwise would be very happy to stay here again . Management was great and when we needed help Billy was our hero.

Two downstairs bathrooms need modernising.
Aircon throughout needs upgrading.
Water leak outside during stay caused issues with water pressure.

We stayed here with friends and family. The house has the most amazing views and is very comfortable. Whilst aspects of the home may be a little tired the location and amenities far outweigh this.

We had an amazing stay at this beautiful property, with stunning views over the lake. Our one small gripe was the way they handle rubbish during your stay. While the conditions of stay clearly outline how rubbish is handled, it is a hassle and this needs to made easier for the guest.

Ibon house was a great spot for a group of 9 friends to stay for a few nights. Location was amazing and views were to die for. Everything you needed was available and there were tons of places to spread out. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would happily return if back in Queenstown.
A little bit of TLC would up this from a 4.5 star rating to a 5.

Rating Details:The property manager was adequately helpful.The vacation rental was very clean.I was very happy with the location.I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental.Overall, I recommend this vacation rental.Reviewer Comments:This property has the most astounding views. Perched high on a mountain side, it presented us with 180 degree views over the lake and Queenstown. The windows have been positioned to maximise the scenery from every room upstairs and downstairs. The house was generally clean and well presented however there were some aspects worth mentioning: 1. The toilet paper holders in all the toilets were coming off the wall and there was insufficient toilet paper provided for 9 guests 2. There were no dishwashing tablets which should have been provided 3. The sinkerator did not work 4. Some power outlets did not work 5. The fridge size was too small to hold food and drink for 9 people and a small bar fridge would have been useful 6. Oven door does not close properly and food took twice as long to cook 6. Shorter stem wine glasses would have fitted in the dishwasher 7. Several doors have squeaking hinges 8. We needed to top up the "S" bend in the upstairs hot water cylinder overflow which then stopped the sewer smells in the upper bedroom. 9. Hopefully you regularly change the code for the 'key safe' otherwise the system is only as secure as the honesty of the previous renters. 10. The utensil hanging block over the mobile food prep bench was a hazard for taller people and served no real purpose. Could be removed and stored in garage. 11. Understand the trend is now to make up beds with bottom and top sheet, doona without doona cover and another sheet on top. This looks like an untidy short cut and an effort to avoid having to do laundry. It does not give the renters the impression of a neat and tidy, well thought out bedroom.

You feel peace and tranquility looking out the windows. There is heaps of space, our 2 families fitted comfortably. Its unfortunate that the property is not being maintained. The Bathrooms are run down and poorly presented. The beds were hard and uncomfortable. The linen was worn, lumpy and stained. There were no additional linens, blankets or pillows. There wasn't even a plug for the kitchen sink or fireplace tools.

Reviewer Comments:
We had 3 generations of my family (1 son, 1 daughter, their spouses and kids) and all were comfortably housed. Someone needs to take better care of plants in pots on the rear terrace and to supply more waste paper baskets, but when you consider the view and the convenience to regional wonders it was very good indeed. We enjoyed cooking and eating together during the long light of evening looking at the spectacular view.

The Bach is huge and comfortable. Ample room for 10. Unparalleled views from the whole house. Convenient to town though not via foot. Slightly disappointing that the spa had to be hired on top of the Bach, but the hire was easy and recommended.

The house itself is nicely laid out and comfortable. Our family of 10 stayed a week and had a great time. We especially liked that the tables, both inside and outside, comfortably seat 10. Our weather wasn't great, but the outside patio is large and we would have used it a lot in warmer weather. The walk to town takes about 35 minutes and is pretty, but we were not game for walking back up the hill to get home. We had cars and there are taxis in town, and apparently a bus that gets close to the house. Being up the hill is the price you pay for the beautiful view, and it is totally worth it! Little maintenance things keep me from giving a fully fabulous review. Some lights weren't working, the dishwasher is temperamental, the Internet was annoyingly slow, and there were other things, all of which would have been easily fixed with an hour or two of a handyman's time. (I wrote to Goodstays about this, and hopefully they'll fix things before the next guests arrive.)

180 degree cliff lake view, enjoy the sun from sun raising to sunset, enjoy the night views of the town, so close to town centre, everything met our expectations, spacious indoor and outdoor space, lovely and characteristic decorations, modern renovated bathrooms. Professional and up to date property management and customers services. No doubt to go back and recommend to friends

Reviewer Comments:
We loved the view from the living room, and the incredibly tasteful decor! The living areas provided a very comfortable space for our 10 guests. I need to point out some of the downsides around the bedrooms, however: - 3 of the bedrooms have sliding doors that lead directly into one another (I am not sure why!) - the upstairs 'master bedroom' is not a master bedroom. It has a good ensuite, but the room is small and it has no door - if guests come to use the garage or the ground floor bathroom, they will be 'in' your room. - the actual master bedroom appears to be locked off from the house. Those oddities aside, the place really is spectacular. The pictures do not even start to do the place justice, and it is an entertainer's dream. My wife prepared for the wedding in the living room in front of the view of the Remarkables, and she says it was an unforgettable experience. The property's private location out of the city is ideal: there plenty of parking, it's not too long a walk down the hill (although I wouldn't want to walk back up), and it's a very short drive down to the bottom. The property was kept very clean, we were very happy with the presentation.

Manager Glenn not helpful very slow to get back with queries. No rubbishy bins only 2 plastic garbage bags for whole stay period for 10 people. Got charged for taking rubbishy away . Useless old kitchen pans that should be thrown out. Oven door doesn't seal , fridge far too small & no cleaning cloths or spray . Had to buy Cleaning kitchen bathroom spray & cloths . Very poorly managed as many guest book reviews have said same as me . Someone has to do something for expensive house with sub standard equipment.

Reviewer Comments:
great property with wonderful views and plenty of space. Kitchen hob and rangehood need to be replaced and as well as the pots and pans. Living areas need curtains/blinds. Property needed a bit of maintenance. There was some damage to the property prior to our arrival which we were charged for by Goodstays. When entering the property for the first time you should complete a premises condition report and forward it to them immediately to avoid being stung for damage which was clearly there prior to your arrival. The Goodstays App and emails had conflicting information and the property managers did not reply to queries via the Goodstays website.
