The property was amazing for our needs, with multiple families able to have their own living space, bathrooms and views from most of the bedrooms meant a harmonious stay. The kitchen was well equipped, and the place was presented in a tidy manner.
The beds could use a replacement is the only thing that could improve the experience.
Otherwise - thank you for an amazing property to enjoy our holiday.

Our friends and family had the best time staying here. Lovely large house that are perfect for couples. Thank you for the wonderful space to stay.
4.9
The stay was fantastic, the accommodation was spot on and the location was great. The only negative was three of the beds had broken slates which we had to fix as you could not sleep on these beds.
4.9
We absolutely loved our stay at this property! The view was breathtaking, and the modern aesthetics of the place added a luxurious touch to our experience. Highly recommend :)
4.9
Accomodation was great, so big and spacious. Superb views of QT and had everything we needed.
Only issues was the communication leading up to the trip away,I reached out multiple times on multiple platforms and had no reply to my question about changing the booking number. However, the accommodation was amazing and I would book this home again.

We stayed at Highview Retreat for a family reunion - my 3 sons and their children, 12 of us in total, from New Zealand, the UK and the USA. The house was ideal for us all, and we had a great time. Fantastic views over the lake. Highly recommended.
4.9
Our 3 day stay in Queenstown was excellent. Nine adults and six children, 6 years to 5 months all well accommodated in Highview. Matt and Haliuna were great hosts.
4.9
Stunning views over the lake and a warm and crackling fireplace make this the perfect place to relax with family or friends after a long day. The hot tub helps to sooth aching muscles after a day on the slopes. Plenty of space for everyone to be alone or come together. Quick ride or leisurely stroll into town. Had a lovely week!
4.9
Such a beautiful house! We stayed at Highview with our large family and it was truly stunning. Great location, close to the city. The house is huge and very clean, just perfect for us! We had 9 adults and 4 children so the 4 x Seperate lounge and dining areas were so convenient, the bedrooms with amazing views. We would love to stay again! Thank you for having us.

House was spacious and had lovely views. Was a little surprised to see a lot of construction on neighbouring properties (with builders visible out most windows during the day times), but I guess that's pretty normal for Queenstown. Interior was clean and well laid out for a large group or for families. A few small negatives which didn't drastically affect us, but to be aware of - garden could do with a tidy up, vacuum cleaners didn't really work and were gunked full of stuff from previous guests, one of the ovens didn't work (hosts had forgotten to tell us) and we couldn't figure out how to make the bedroom heaters go (might be good to have instructions for this in the bedrooms). Overall a good property.
4.9
This overall was an awesome house for our group of 14. Plenty of space to spread out. Bedrooms are big and very comfy. We thoroughly enjoyed Queenstown and all it has to offer. Went our separate ways during the day to experience fun tijes and got together over meals at night. Being able to cook essily kept prices down a lityle. We only used one kitchen to save on cleaning. Would recommend again.
4.9
Great property with great views. Good communication and action by owners. Property ideally suited for a big family or group. Highly recommended property for a great stay in Queenstown. Close enough for walk into Queenstown or shopping at Frankton. Great fishing at Lake within 15 min walk from property. Thanks for having us.

The views were amazing! Worth every dollar. House was excellent for what we needed. Communication with the owners was great. Only small negative was the gardens were overgrown & outside needs a little love but overall a great place to stay. Would definitely stay here again.
4.9
This was a perfect house for our family to have a short stay in. We wish we had of come here earlier to enjoy all of what the house had to offer. The size of the house was great as this accommodated my family and the newly weds that were holidaying with us, and we all had private quarters. I would absolutely stay here again....thank you :)

QT Holiday
Very Spacious and it suited us well with our 3 combined families. Covenient for Town and other touring activities.
We did take a while to figure out how to work the heaters but eventually figured it out.
Absolutely beautiful views, and we even had snow falling outside the windows.

To say we loved staying here is an understatement.
Amazing views, everything you could possibly need, so much space, and great communication with property managers. We were a group of 7 couples and we never once felt like it was crowded. All the guests were impressed with their rooms, bathrooms and the amenities.
Well equipped and furnished property

Loved our stay here, was overwhelmed with the stunning views as soon as we walked in. Being able to see the mountains from the comfort of our beds in the morning was a real luxury. Plenty of space for all, and it was so great to have access to so many bathrooms - one for everyone. Enjoyed being able to have a spa in the evenings, overlooking the lake and admiring the pretty lights and the stars. Location was awesome, private and peaceful, yet close to the main attractions. Would love to be able to come again! Thanks!

Highview - a true retreat place with views and space
We had an awesome stay during the New Year at this property! Wonderful views of the lake in every room that make you just stand still and look out everytimE. All of the rooms had generous space for everyone and the lounge space was very cozy and bright due to the large windows and sliding doors. Kitchen and dining area had all the basics to allow you to cook home made meals. And that hot pool with a deck, it was a perfect hangout spot.
Located up the hill by the main road, it was just a short drive into the town centre or perfect for those afternoon walks with the kids. This place is highly recommended for groups with kids or even couples traveling as a group but still want to have the privacy due to its well planned layout. Will definitely try to book this place on our next trip to Queenstown.
