About this house rental
MAXWELL PLACE PROPERTY SUMMARY:
Alpine charm, stylish finishes and panoramic vistas collide at Maxwell Place – a real Queenstown gem. Reminiscent of a mountain chalet, the home is sun drenched and well-appointed to exploit the jaw dropping views of Lake Wakatipu and the neighbouring mountains.
ACCOMMODATION DETAILS:
Maxwell Place is the kind of vacation rental where holiday memories are made. The property’s almost rustic feel is at one with Queenstown’s adventurous spirit, while modern amenities provide the ease of holiday living. A wood finish gives Maxwell Place tonnes of warmth and character, while strategically placed windows bring in maximum light. You will enjoy taking in the view whether you’re dining, bathing or lying in bed.
An open plan kitchen and living area are situated on the first floor, framed by a wrap-around balcony with sliding door access. The décor is best described as character-packed yet contemporary, with exposed beams and a roaring fireplace.
Extensive decking around the holiday home adds to the indoor-outdoor flow and helps bring nature indoors. Upstairs, the wooden beamed attic room is an ideal haven for children or additional guests, including bean bags, a TV and DVD player. The carport makes parking easy and convenient.
BEDROOMS AND BATHROOMS:
Maxwell Place is equipped with 2.5 bathrooms and 3 bedrooms. One of the home’s major perks is its flexible configuration, including a bunkroom attic:

The property is in a prime location as it’s situated equally to The Remarkables and Coronet Peaks. The property fits 8 people well enough. However the stairs are a bit too steep to where the “kids” area is. The house has a considerable amount of mould especially around the windows and the bathroom. Lastly the hot water system isn’t adequate for a group of 7 who cook and clean up every day.
4.7
Difficult to find the front door and parking space as the parking space was not labeled and the house address, number was not obvious or easily seen. Instructions for placing the garbage in the email I received we're different from the instructions in the house so that was a bit confusing. Please consider replacing or washing the window curtain in the bedroom closest to the street as it was a bit moldy. That being said, the house met our needs, the view was fantastic and we enjoyed our time in Queenstown immensely. There is another home underneath 22b. If there was anyone there they were very quiet, we didn't hear anything.

The view of the lake and mountains is superb. The house suited our group of 8 with plenty of room for everyone. The cooking utensils and crockery had not been left in a great state by the people prior to us, so we did have to scrub everything prior to using it. Other than that, the house was clean and tidy. I’d definitely stay here again.

Awesome value for money and situated in an ideal spot to take full advantage of the beautiful views Lake Whakatipu has to offer.

We really enjoyed staying at this property. Yes, it is old and a bit rough around the edges - that is obvious from the photos. If you are looking for a pristine 5 star resort this is not the place for you. BUT if you are looking for a cosy place with INCREDIBLE views, a full kitchen, multiple bathrooms, a great fireplace and plenty of room to spread out, this house is great and also really good value. We had a group of five friends staying here and didn't feel cramped at all. We loved looking out at the stunning views every day. The beds were all very comfortable with quality linen. The kitchen was well appointed and everything worked fine. Showers were good with plenty of hot water. The neighbourhood was extremely quiet with the exception of one night where there was loud music playing, but that seemed to be the exception and certainly isn't the fault of the property! Loved waking up in our very own hillside treehouse every day and would recommend this place to families or groups of friends. Just note that the parking space is pretty small - our RAV4 fit in there but I don't think you'd fit anything too much bigger than that. I think you could probably park on the street nearby as a back up option but not sure how many spaces there usually are - just something to bear in mind.

Absolutely perfect setup. Myself and my two daughters were in Queenstown for a week of skiing and Queenstowning. Its five mibutes from twon which is easy drive for lunch or dinner. Or a morning drive to the ski bus. The place is homely and comfortable and warm. The master has stunning views to wake up to. The lounge/dining/kitchen area is perfect for hanging out as a family. And the bedrooms comfortable, spacious and provide a personal place when needed. Would definitely recommend and use again

Tired looking house
The location is good and close to most of the amenities and attractions. However the house needs some upgrade with some new bedding. The photos are quite old and doesn't to show the current status of the house. Overall good place.Please put a new vacuum cleaner.

Good place for adults groups.
Hi,
Good location.
No QR code at front door being a public place!
Balcony handrail not to standards for toddlers or children gap is too big and drop is over 5m. Dangerous. Same to handrails of staircases inside. Kids need supervision all time.
There was a car parked in the car port, although we didn't need as our van was too high but you think its part of the house.
Black spots around door handles need more cleaning, I have photos.
The glass at the dining room is stained from weather, need good cleaning as the spot to the lake is magnificent.

Great House with stunning views. All the mod cons needed on holiday. Comfortable beds, plenty of room for 6 Adults, parking was at a premium however.

What a lovely place to stay, we couldn’t have been happier! The views of the lake and mountains are spectacular and the home was clean, comfortable and well appointed. Great location close to Queenstown, just a few minutes drive. When we needed to extend our stay by a few days the property manager responded quickly and was very helpful. Highly recommended! We would certainly up stay here again.

Great base for a holiday
Fantastic views and good set up in the house. Limited parking by the house but on street parking can be found up the hill. Great place to access Queenstown and Frankton town centres.

Excellent place to stay
We loved the location. The house was a perfect fit for our family while in Queenstown.

Great location, the property is average.
We enjoyed our stay but felt the property was 'punching above its weight' in terms of value for money from past experiences. The house is fairly tired, there was no real outdoor space to enjoy the view and then there were little things like there being low on essentials i.e. coffee, sugar etc. Also, aside from the main living room, the house is also very dark.

The Bach is exactly what’s advertised, it is well situated and clean. The view from the Bach was spectacular. Definitely worth a stay.

Great views at this property but very disappointed to discover there was an owners flat below the living area. This wasn't mentioned in the property description. Kitchen very small and not enough seating for everyone. The extra charges for exit clean $240 and linen $204 are excessive - the house wasn't particularly clean either.

The house was very comfortable and well presented. The parking was awkward especially for a large vehicle. The company was professional and we did not need to contact them during the stay. I found the constant messages on the Homestays app intrusive. I would prefer to also have written instructions left in the house.

Maxwell Place was perfect for our group of 7, away for a girls weekend. There is loads of space, plenty of beds and the views are amazing. It was clean and tidy. The location is perfect, we had a rental car and no issues with car parking, or you can easily walk into town. We had a great stay and would definitely come back if ever in Queenstown again.

It was a great house, very homely for my family, lots of room and space. The amenities provided is also very good, the linen provided has the feel of a luxury hotel. The only not so good part is that the master bathroom does not have a proper door for the shower area, so the water may wet the floor in the bathroom. But otherwise everything is so good, and the view is really something that is out of the world, exactly what we have expected it to be! And also not to mention the well-equipped kitchen and with a top of the line dish washer.
