This is a large house with plenty of room for our group of 6 adults. It was in a quiet cul de sac and with very quiet neighbours in the attached unit. It was a great place to be based, away from the main area of Queenstown. ##### Lisa C.

The home has lots of room and was luxurious with most of the tiled floors heated and plenty of wood for the time that we were there. ##### Fontaine M. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Dwayne C. 17 Oct 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness The view of the lake from the house is stunning, and the layout of the house worked well for two families. The house itself could do with a fresh coat of paint and a proper clean. But the location was great, and walkable distance to the marina or the town centre.Unfortunately the back room where our sons were staying smelt so badly of cigarette smoke when we arrived that we had to leave the balcony doors and windows open to air the room despite the cold. ##### Dwayne C.
