Good communication with the host and the views were absolutely jaw dropping. It was incredible to be able to wake up to the view everyday and wish we could do it again.
We had plenty of space and the views were excellent. We appreciated the clear instructions on how to use the amenities. The apartment is located close to the airport and to downtown Queenstown. We didn't have a car, but everything was a quick Uber ride. We would highly recommend this stay.
It was the overall package. I contacted the owner twice and received responses quickly. The view was breath taking. The condo was well equipped for any cooking desired.
Fantastic views and comfortable stay. Beds are very comfortable. I think it would be a bit small for 6 people in the living room area, also there is no separate dining area. But great for 2-4 people. Would definitely stay here again. Great service from Goodstays.

We were blown away by the view from the condo. It was luxurious, yet comfortable, and easy to maintain. We had 3 adults and 2 kids and had plenty of room and a very well equipped kitchen. Our host was amazing and very helpful. My son keeps saying this was his favorite stay of our trip and that we should move into this condo, haha! Highly recommend. Just like the pictures!
Amazing views, and a great location. Close to airport, Frankton, and city center. We stayed here the longest during our overseas trip and it was a decision I’m glad we did not regret!
This place is like home very clean the view is magnificent kitchen has all equipments for cooking and I am planning my stay for next year at this place from now. Excellent for family and friends.

This property was beautifully appointed with spectacular views. The amenities were outstanding and it was a wonderful place to spend our final three days in New Zealand. Highly recommend!
Excellent location. Stunning views. Quiet neighborhood. Only minor issue was the microwave oven: no luck in making it work. Beyond that we look forward to staying again!!
We traveled from Auckland and had the pleasure of staying at this wonderful property. Our experience was truly fantastic; the house is beautiful, spacious, and offers stunning views that made our stay even more memorable. The home was thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed, ensuring our comfort and convenience throughout our visit. The peaceful surroundings and charming decor created a warm and inviting atmosphere. We appreciated the attention to detail and the effort put into making this property feel like a home away from home. Overall, it was a delightful stay, and we would definitely love to return in the future.
We stayed three nights and very much enjoyed our stay. The place was clean, comfortable, a great location, and had wonderful views! We loved waking up in the morning to incredible views of the mountains and lake outside the floor to ceiling windows. The terrace was a lovely spot to have coffee in the mornings. The only complaint we had was that there was a very strong cleaning product smell that dominated the condo. We were able to mitigate some of it by opening the terrace doors to air things out.
It was lovely. Views stunning. Everything we needed. Just missed not having a dining table and since we had friends (2) over for dinner and there were 4 of us staying and there were only 4 bar stools we had to stand around the kitchen bar. I dont recall the property advising that there was no dining table in the advertisement. Anyway it was lovely and we would stay again.
The views are panoramic, the property is perfectly situated between the town center and the airport. Very quiet and beautiful.
Goodstays should be proud to have Teresa on staff. She helped us significantly and was wonderful to deal with. If you want personalized care, Teresa and her staff are great.
At this price point most renters expect a little more, and Teresa was there to proudly represent her company and the property all the way through our stay. She is heartfelt and genuine.
See you next time!!!!!!!!!
Gorgeous view of lake and Queenstown from large balcony. Comfortable, clean, well appointed apartment. Heaters in bedrooms/bathrooms and heated blankets added nice touch. Easy to use appliances. Location close to airport and downtown. Only drawback - had to take taxis/Ubers to get anywhere from the home, but to be fair we didn’t look into public transportation so maybe it was available and we just didn’t realize it. Overall loved this place and would recommend it!
This 3 bed 2 bath was the perfect choice for our family. It's close to city center, airport, grocery store, and many of the attractions. The pictures online do not do the view justice.
Kitchen-- there were plenty of dishes, utensils and cooking gear. Myself and my daughter are celiac, therefore, going out isn't always an option. Everything worked tip top during our stay.
Living room-- Spacious with enough room to spread out. There was a couch and 2 recliners that were all in great shape and not worn out. It was wonderful to have this space after a long day of hiking. Also the entire back wall is glass with constant views of the lake and mountains.
Outdoor deck-- views for days. Plenty of outdoor seating. We did not use the grill.
Bedrooms-- spacious and clean. Beds were comfortable, sheets were clean. The master also had views of the lake and mountains. My daughter stayed in the other room with the queen bed and stated the bed was comfy. We did not use the room with the twin beds.
Bathrooms-- sufficient space. Great water pressure in the showers.
Neighborhood-- very quiet area. Rarely saw neighbors. It isn't walkable to city center, however, there is a bus stop not too far away. We rented a car.
Communication with owner was quick, professional, and accommodating. The instructions on how to get in, use appliances, and where to find things was appreciated and accurate.
Overall, I'd fully recommend this property.
