Loved everything about it. I loved Sage and Carly and they had another son. Sorry I don’t recall his name. They made us feel so welcome, we abisélele loved our stay. We will always stay here when we visit. I’m definitely staying here when I return next summer with my daughter from America.

The view

Close quarters , 3 dogs roaming around inside , no TVs , free breakfast is help yourself to cornflakes . This location is perfect for backpackers . Not for a couple looking for a week away . Very over priced and unrealistic description of what you are walking into . Shared bathroom won’t go down well with everyone. No parking .

Great location, beautiful lake views, hosts made us feel like we were at home

N/A

Loved the cosy home feel, and communal areas. Very beautiful surrounds, log fire and spacious shared areas. Kitchen was fully kitted out with everything we needed!

Thought their may have been a regular yoga schedule, however there were no classes on during our stay.

Best night sleep.i have had in a long time. Facilities were great. Location was serene.

Location is good. Only the street parking was a bit tight.

Awesome staff, fabulous views, good location, v comfy bed nice shower. If I as being picky tricky to park close to hotel but not too far to walk Would deffinetly stay again A+

Nothing

It was all great, lovely views and cool vibe

The property was so homey with a fire on the first two nights we were there. My best friend and I had the loviest stay. The owner was so kind to us.

Beautiful rooms and spacious commun kitchen, living rooms and terrace. We had a wonderful time there, the fireplace every night was prepared , such a sweet gesture!

The whole facility was ever so good

Nothing.

The host was superb and very friendly, my teenager son did yoga in the mornings and there was offered self service breakfest and you could take your own items to the fridge and make your own breakfast as well.

From the cabins, the toilets were a little bit far but the settings was so beautiful that exceeded every expectation.

Przepiękne widoki, wygodne łóżko , dobra komunikacja z centrum. Bardzo dobra atmosfera. Trafiliśmy też na koncert. Gorąco polecam

Zimna łazienka

Chambre très cosy et lit très confortable avec couverture chauffante. Petit-déjeuner super (self-service et beaucoup de choix) avec un excellent café! Possibilité de se faire masser.

Mi-avril : le sauna et le jacuzzi n'étaient pas fonctionnels. Un peu froid dans les pièces communes.

A great atmosphere here so chilled, the bed was so comfy one of the best nights sleep!!

Very beautiful home and friendly people

A lot of maintenance noise a bonfire and late drinking and talk and entertainment into the midnight and early morning

The location

No parking on-site as advised Not very clean overall Still expensive considering the rooms

Ambiente incantevole, atmosfera di pace, il bagno impeccabile e ben riscaldato, la cucina dotata di tanti cereali per gli ospiti

Tutto molto bello, solo il percorso esterno per il bagno non comodissimo di notte

A very friendly chill place to relax and see Queenstown. A clean and welcoming kitchen with good breakfast provided. The access to yoga mats and props was perfect after a long walk.

Amazing place to stay!

Paul is an excellent host. Loved the stay.

Team was great and vibe was so calming and relaxing. beautiful views (+ house dogs were friendly and cute!)

One weird thing was that they don’t provide body wash in the rooms as it seems other guests bring their own (you can ask for some)

Great location and views. Rustic vibes.

Bungalow was cold. Shared facilities weren’t as good as expected.

The property has a very scenic view overlooking the lake and the mountains on the way to Glenochy and is good for retreats. Guests are free to use the kitchen, living room and open space and are left to feel at home in using them. The room (inclusive of the bathroom) was very spacious.

We were on a road trip and driving. However, located on Fern Hill, there was limited parking space for roadside parking near the property as the road was quite narrow and a bit steep.

Friendly, relaxed, welcoming place with great staff and interesting conversation. Really enjoyed sitting in the living area and garden admiring the view over lake Whakatipu. Far enough from the hubbub of Queenstown, but quick and easy to access by car or bus.

The people and the vibes. The location was so quiet as well. Really cosy and welcoming.

Nothing

Good location & decor. Spacious. Accessible. Spotless. Good views. Very quiet.

Check-in was a bit casual - no real official welcome - just the lady doing the gardening to advise us.

Eure wunderbare Unterkunft! Die Ausstattung, die Atmosphäre, der Garten, die Gemeinschaftsräume, die Gastgeber, alles trägt dazu bei dich wohlzufühlen! Mit dem Bus, der unweit hält, kommt man problemlos und in 10min in die Stadt.

Nichts!

Bel emplacement avec une très jolie vue sur le lac. Une belle chambre dans une cabine bois. l'ambiance bobo écolo sympathique.

partage de toilettes et de douche... loin de la chambre. être obligés dans la nuit et le froid d'emprunter un long escalier extérieur pour atteindre les toilettes, pas top à un certain âge. le chien des voisins qui aboie à 5 h du mat. payer 10 euros pour un seul lavage en machine et séchoir... le self service petit déjeuner, ( on doit tout demander ne connaissant pas la cuisine) bof

I loved this stay, I stayed for 4 nights and it was the best part of my trip. Kiri is so warm and welcoming. I stayed in one of the cabins in the garden and it was super comfortable. The shared kitchen facilities and living space were great too.

Nothing really, it would be nice to have a second shower as I did feel under pressure to be quick!

Great view from the main patio.

Dirty kitchen: I tried to make coffee and there was still old espresso in the espresso maker. Food was left out on counters through the night… Our room was a bungalow, really far from the bathroom, several flights of rocky stairs to get to the toilet, especially in rain, not fun! Same is awful for carrying luggage up those stairs. Room was cold in March even with the heater. Almost no natural light in the room because of tall trees. Bathroom in the main house is much nicer than the ones that are meant for the bungalows. But the guests in the main house rooms shut the door to the hall that leads to their nice bathroom. I assumed they didn’t want everybody else to use it… hosts are in your face morning and night. I personally did not like that

호스트가 친절하고 다정했으며 귀여운 강아지도 있었음. 손님들 간에도 서로 편하게 대화하는 가족같은 분위기가 있어서 또 가고 싶은 곳임. 버스정류장 근처이고 숙소에서 보는 호수뷰가 좋음. 숲속에 둘러쌓인 방도 아늑했음.

시내와의 거리가 있지만 오히려 조용해서 좋았음.

とても親切にしてくださいました。眺めもよかったです。もっと滞在時間が欲しかったくらいです。

Like home!

Die Lage ist sehr ruhig und der Blick von der Terrasse wunderschön

Die Ansprechpartner vor Ort sind nur selten da. Bei der Beschreibung „ geteiltes Badezimmer“ hätten wir nicht damit gerechnet, dass man es mit zwölf Leuten teilt. Bezüglich der Sauberkeit haben wir uns nicht wohl gefühlt. Das Zimmer war sehr klein, und man musste über eine schmale Leiter zum Bett aufsteigen, welches dann nur noch wenige Zentimeter bis zur Decke Platz hatte

An absolute favorite of our New Zealand trip, Queenstown's hidden gem. We enjoyed everything - from the wooden cabin surrounded by trees, the terrace with a mountain view, the cozy kitchen (the only place that had an airfryer in the equipment!), as well as the overall atmosphere of the place. Respect for the ability to create it all.

Sometimes it can take longer to find parking, especially if you don't have a small car.

Guests are invited to make their own breakfast from a wide selection available in the kitchen. Anything from the fridge, bread/toast, eggs, cereal, coffee, tea, etc. Kaari, the host, made us feel so welcome in her home, which is a beautiful property, up on the hill in Sunshine Bay, overlooking Cecil Peak on Lake Wakatipu. We would love to have stayed there for a week!

Hele fijne huiselijke sfeer, dankzij de lieve mensen die het runnen

Breakfast okay. Room good. Great views and chill atmosphere.

Onstreet parking can get busy, a long way out of town if not driving.

The views were to die for and the bungalow cabin was nice and Cosy

Not having enough PowerPoints in the room The room needs there own fridge and coffee and tea and jug for the price you pay for the room The kitchen facilities was fine until we saw a mouse running around the food and toaster cereal area

Relaxed- away from the busy town. Large room and en suite. Lovely birds in garden. Wonderful views. Great hosts

Parking on street difficult at times. Sound travelled between rooms easily in main house. There are separate small lodges too

Ora Retreat is one of the loveliest places I have stayed in in all my travels, and the owner makes you feel at home from the minute you step inside. Thank you!!!

Leaving.....

The house itself with the boho decor and beautiful surroundings was absolutely gorgeous. There is a large deck out front to sit and overlook the Lake when its sunny out. It's got a very self-service feel to it. Some friendly doggo's. Large rooms inside to chill if the weather isn't great and the property is quite spread out with a number of cabins dotted around so I'm not actually sure how many people it fits. The hot tubs are a great addition that you can book a spot for around $30. The staff were really nice too. I didn't get to really hang out with them too much as I was there to visit friends who lived nearby

Although the house was absolutely gorgeous and had lovely surroundings and views of Fernhill and Lake Whakatipu, I do think it was far too expensive for what essentially feels like an upmarket hostel. I appreciate Queenstown is pricey and that Ora Retreat was cheaper than other places, but given that this spot was not in town, I think $250 a night for a single bed in a cabin with shared facilities is extortionate.

Great location, away from the busy city centre but still easy to reach by bus. Everything was very clean, and the room was cozy and surrounded by trees. The owner also provided some basic food items, which made it possible to prepare breakfast.

Great Place we stayed in the house in a double room with shared bathroom. Amazing views from the balcony. Short bus ride to town . Kitchen was well set up for self catering so no need to go to town if you bring your own food to cook . Happily stay again and recommend

Nothing

Everything was perfect with our stay. The room was lovely, toilets super clean, kitchen and shared areas were immaculate and views were amazing! The staff in particular made the stay stand out to us. Such welcoming people, made us really feel like you’re in a home away from home!

I wish I’d have stayed longer!

Easy access to bus route. Calm, atmosphere.

The ladder up to the mezzanine

Lovely! Such a welcoming stay, the owners were so friendly and accomodating. They have their beautiful pet dogs too if you need your dog fix whilst away. The cabin I stayed in was cosy and comfortable. The kitchen and communal areas had everything you need. Stunning views over the lake and a convenient location, just out of the busyness of Queenstown but close to bus services that go straight to town. I would stay here again!

O café da manhã é bem fraco

De vriendelijkheid van de eigenaren, de jaren 60 hippie sfeer en het geweldige uitzicht.

Niks

L'emplacement, le cadre et la vue, l'impression de dormir dans la forêt, l'hôte et sa convivialité, la cuisine

Les WC et la salle de bain partagés n'étaient pas super propres, cela dépend forcément du savoir vivre des autres convives

The most BEAUTIFUL retreat with wonderful hosts! Ora retreat just well and truly exceeded our expectations (which were already high), Kaari and Sage went out of their way to ensure our arrival in New Zealand went smoothly and was enjoyable! The morning lake swim and yoga is a MUST! Whatever you do, don’t miss out on this great spot with beautiful vibes.

We loved this retreat!!! The hosts were amazing, the vibe was chilled, the place was gorgeous with space for yoga, to chill outside, lots of plants and flowers, a shared kitchen and fairy lights on the way to our cabin. We loved the cabin being surrounded by trees and nature!

Friendly family run business.

I misunderstood 'retreat'.

Das Zimmer ist in einem traumhaft gelegenen Haus mit einer tollen, riesigen Terrasse mit Seeblick. Es hat eine schöne Atmosphäre. Es liegt in einer ruhigen Wohngegend. Es gibt eine Bushaltestelle 100m entfernt. Parkplätze sind immer vorhanden auf der Straße. Ein kleiner Strand ist fussläufig erreichbar. Die Besitzerin ist sehr freundlich und entspannt. Es besteht die Möglichkeit für Yoga oder Massagen.

이곳은 너무나 특별한 곳입니다. 전혀 다른 경험을 할수있어요. 호텔과는 전혀 다른 가족의 별장에 온 것같아요. 아침에 요가를 할 수 있고, 어쩌면 주인장의 큰차를 타고 수영할 수 있는 호숫가에 가서 다이빙을 할 수도 있어요. 추웠지만 잊을수 없는 멋진 추억이었어요. 노천에서 스파도 할수 있어요. 아침식사는 자유롭게 하도록 제공해주고 저녁식사는 준비해온 재료로 요리하여 정원에서 호수를 보면 즐길수 있어요. 착한 개들도 있어요. 늦게 출발하는 항공편때문에 짐도 맡아주고요. 사랑스럽고 아름다운 주인장은 마음 속깊이 따뜻한 분입니다. 스쳐 지나가는 사람일 뿐인 저를 꼭 안아주었어요. 너무나 감사해요. 덕분에 퀸스타운이 더욱 기억에 남을 것 같아요.

개선점이 없다는게 단점이에요.

Prachtige tuin met een cabin met prachtig uitzicht

Wonderful hosts - genuinely couldn’t do enough for us

It was amazing

Lovely host, great place in a great location. Highly recommend

בית אירוח מקסים עם סלון ומרפסת ענקיים ונוף מדהים Kaari בעלת במקום סופר נחמדה וההרגשה היא של בית

לנתי בשתי בקתות, באחת מהן המיטה היתה בגובה עם סולם לעליה - פחות נוח

Great Lake view, very welcoming hosts, Queenstown within easy reach, comfy bed, super clean and loved the communal kitchen …a first for us but really enjoyed swooping travel experiences with fellow guests. It all works in a surprisingly great way.

N/A

The view was stunning, the place was private and cozy, and home two 3 legendary dogs (shoutout Dusky). Shared bathroom and kitchen facilities were clean and hardly ever busy. Breakfast was sufficient and a nice touch. Kaari and Paul were super welcoming and knowledgeable of the area, and were willing to go above and beyond for everyone there. Optional free morning yoga and lake swims were a plus if that's your vibe. Yes it's a short drive out of the main city, but with a hire car it was no problem at all to find free parking when we felt like travelling in - there is also a bus that leaves right out the front if needed. Overall, the best place my partner and I have stayed throughout our NZ trip. Cheers Kaari and Paul! - Harry and Steph

Nothing.

Nette und warmherzige Gastgeberin. Saubere Zimmer. Ruhige Lage. Viel Ausstattung wie in einer WG.

Organisation anfangs etwas unklar. Bad könnte etwas mehr abgestaubt sein.

Beautiful view across lake, incredibly friendly vibe, charming rooms, lovely garden and an exceptional host.

Nothing

Host was really nice and kind. The terrace is impressive.

It would be nice to have an additional toilet available.

幸运的选择。一次令人难忘的入住体验，让我和先生的皇后镇之旅锦上添花。驾车5分钟到市里，宽敞舒适的共用大厅，厨房，花园，让人不局限于自己的房间，可以和来自各国的旅客交流。整个院子面向湖波，室外木阳台宽敞而舒适。早上在大厅练瑜伽，房东kaali女士还弹奏一曲钢琴。最难忘的是房东的友好和热情，还有我们居住的森林小屋。希望能有机会再去体验。

Pretty garden

The property owner is an abusive man and I had to leave after an hour as I did not feel safe.
