Lovely stay. The house was beautiful. It had huge windows overlooking the lake and we got to watch a lightning storm.

Our family of five had a lovely stay here. The house itself was fabulous - so quirky and interesting. The views from the house over the water were absolutely stunning - watching Lord of the Rings (we’re visiting NZ so we felt compelled!) with the mountains in the background was surreal! Do make sure that you have read the description about the steepness of the drive - my husband managed it but I would not have been able to manage it!

Expedia should be held responsible not to put up such properties for rent and should provide me a full refund. Mould in bathrooms. Dampness on carpets, water mould on carpets. In accessible road to park car for a car. Everything in the house is old and stained. Holes in the wall covered with tape. I have pictures of how terrible the property is. Except for the view and fireplace rest was horrible. Had to go and buy my own heater for a room. What more can I say. Walls had dampness and smell of mould. It was a hazard. Leak from the roof when it rained in the living room Expedia is full responsible and should be help responsible. I could not move out as full money was paid.

The house was comfortable for our group, 2 parents, son and his friend. The views from the house are absolutely incredible, and we were blessed with the weather so had spectacular views of the lake and mountains every day. The house itself is a tiny bit dated, but this did not matter at all as it was fully equipped with everything you need, including a fabulous wood burner which kept the upstairs nice and warm. Each bedroom also had a heater and very comfy bed. The walk into Queenstown is along the lake and takes about 20-25 minutes, a lovely walk, with amazing views, there are several supermarkets and shopping area a 5 min drive away. Our host Cherifah was fantastic and so helpful, accommodating my extra requests. I would highly recommend this accommodation to anyone. Thank you for a fantastic stay and wonderful house.

Loved every minute of our stay in this beautiful house with lots of character. There is a path right in front of the house leading into town- the most incredible walk along the river. It had everything we needed and was very warm. Driveway is incredibly steep.

The view was picturesque, great communal spaces, rooms are well set up and bathrooms stocked. Only downfall was the driveway ~ very sketchy to drive in and out of. Would be hard for unconfident drivers. Almost missed it too. Other than that we couldn’t fault the place. One suggestion ~ if the property is listed as family friendly maybe have a small amount of toys. Again, just a suggestion
