Staying at Gerry’s place was such a sweet and heartwarming experience. Gerry is one of the kindest and most lovely hosts we have ever met. She has such a gentle, warm presence, beautiful blue eyes, and makes you feel welcome from the moment you arrive. The whole place is incredibly cozy and beautifully arranged. You can really feel how much care she has put into every little detail — everything is thoughtful, delicate and full of warmth. It feels less like staying in an accommodation and more like being welcomed into a very special home. Gerry even helped us with the dishes and laundry, which was far beyond anything we expected. She honestly felt like a little fairy quietly taking care of everything and making our stay easier and more comfortable. 🥹💙 I genuinely adore her and this place. I really hope many kind and lovely people get the chance to stay here, because Gerry truly deserves the nicest guests. This is such a sweet, special place, and one of the warmest memories from our trip. We would absolutely love to come back one day. ❤️
We had the best stay. The room was so comfortable. It was so nice to meet Gerry, she is an amazing host. It was lovely to come home at the end of the day to the heater on & a wee treat on the pillow. Would highly recommend Blue Skies.
Nothing everything was perfect.
The property was beautiful, comfortable and very welcoming. I loved all the thoughtful little details, especially the fresh lilies, bread, oats, milk and yogurt. Everything was clean, well prepared and made me feel at home.
Gerry is definitely a wonder fairy. I knew it from the moment we meet. The communication was great before we arrived. Gerry had heater on for us in piercingly cold winter. The room was incredibly well prepared and has everything you would need: great selection of breakfast cereal, bread, coffee, milk and even creamer!!! We took our dogs along for the trip and they have enjoyed the place as well. The place is quiet and cozy, close to most of the places you need to be. I wish we could stay longer and we will definitely go back again next year.

Gerry was very accommodating, super friendly. we felt at home. It was clean and had everything you needed and more!
Nothing, everything was perfect
This is the easiest review to write, as I have nothing but amazing things to say. Gerry is the sweetest individual who puts so much love into her hosting and it really shows. She was so generous with her time, both in conversing with us and also providing personalized Queenstown recommendations during our stay; it’s so evident that she wants her guests to feel right at home. The space is perfectly clean, comfy, and incredibly well maintained, with all sorts of thoughtful and above-and-beyond touches throughout. I really couldn’t recommend a stay at Blue Skies enough - thank you Gerry, we wish you all the best!!!
Nothing negative to note.
房東人很好,每天整理房間還會留下巧克力。餐具也很齊全,是個很溫馨舒適的地方,我們住的很開心!
床有點軟
What an awesome little BNB. The little extras you get with Gerry are totally unexpected, but very welcome. It's like a full service hotel for a fraction of the price. We were particularly grateful for the ability to have our wee dog there. It's like a little home away from home, and your Mum (The BlueSkies Fairy) drops in, cleans your dishes, makes your bed and leaves you treats 😃. Highly recommended.
If I could rate this the property, and my overall experience, well, it would be a 20-out-of 10!!! All the little added touches by host Gerry, made my stay so comforting. I felt so at home, I honestly did not want to leave.The coffee, the breakfast choices, the turn-down Chocolates at night were so nice!Blue SKies will be my place of choice from now on when visiting QT.
No kitchen sink
Everything was perfect just like it always is.
There is no one thing.
Very comfortable, thoughtfully designed and beautifully presented. Very clean. Gerry was a friendly and thoughtful host, generous with her knowledge and time. It was our favourite accommodation during our three week holiday in New Zealand. We would definitely recommend choosing Blue Skies.
Nothing I didn't enjoy.
One of the best I have stayed in, super clean, and lots of attention to detail with small things.....
Nothing
Gerry our host far exceeded all expectations. This accommodation is impeccably clean, beautifully decorated with all the extras perks. Gerry has truly anticipated anything you might need.
Wouldn’t change a thing.
屋主Gerry非常熱情招待我們,屋內提供各式茶飲小點心及麵包等等,每天能和Gerry分享行程體驗,是個很棒的回憶!
If I could give this stay 150 points, I would! From the moment we arrived, Gerry welcomed us with a huge, warm hug that made us feel right at home. The house is incredibly clean, and the bed and bathroom were both perfect. Gerry is a total 'fairy'—she even helped us with our laundry and dishes! We were so spoiled with chocolate cookies, yogurt, bread, and jam, plus a sweet chocolate surprise the next day. It truly felt better than being at home. We will definitely be back and highly recommend this place to everyone!
No
The landlady was very helpful, she even washed my clothes, and did everything to make me feel more than welcome. I had a wonderful time. I can recommend this accomodation whole heartedly.
Out of main town but close to bus route. Perfect host, appreciated the extra little touches like breakfast, laundry on request and bowl of sweets. Would highly recommend to anybody wanting to visit Queenstown.
Nothing. All good
The suite was beautifully appointed. From the welcome pack of Tim-Tams to the assorted breakfast cereals, bread and jellies. Gerry is a delightful hostess always available for questions and recommendations.

Beste Unterkunft auf unserer Reise! Gerry ist wirklich eine Fee, die unauffällig alles herzaubert, was man gerade braucht: Kleine Aufmerksamkeiten, saubere Wäsche, Frühstück, Ausflugtipps, ... Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt. Danke!
Good location, good price/quality ratio.
Very friendly host, but there is too much communication. I do not like to see any host every day with the same questions and reporting about my past day and my future plans. Also WiFi name and password were misleading. Each WiFi has the Name and the Password. I found only one indication on the table about it -- Wi Fi "Blue Skies". Yes WiFi that I used had the name Blue Skies, but where is the password? I guessed and tried several times to find that the password is the same, literally one word without any space "BlueSkies", not how it was mentioned with the space between the words. Also, I do not need to make up my room each day, but there is no option "Not to disturb me".
Zuallererst- Gerry ist eine wunderbare Gastgeberin. Mit kleinen Details zauberte sie uns immer wieder ein Lächeln ins Gesicht. Schon beim Betreten des Apartments empfing uns ein herzliches Willkommen und ein lieber Brief, in dem sie uns willkommen hiess und in jedem Fall ihr Hilfe anbot (und Kekse). Die Unterkunft ist gemütlich, hat einen Kleiderschrank, den wir immer wieder vermissen. Die kleine Terrasse lädt zum Frühstücken oder einfach nur zum Erholen zwischen den Aktivitäten ein. Wir haben uns sehr, sehr wohlgefühlt und sind dankbar, Gerry noch am letzten Tag persönlich kennengelernt zu haben. Der Aufenthalt wird uns in Erinnerung bleiben. Absolut empfehlenswerte Unterkunft!
Gerry the lady of the house. She went out of her way to attend our needs.
Nothing
Clean comfortable well appointed accomodation. Gerry provided a warm welcome, generous hospitality and added extras to make our stay special
A little further out of town but worth it
During our stay we loved the views, the hospitality of the host and the quiet neighbourhood. The distance from Queenstown was exactly what we were looking for with accommodation.
Nothing. It was all perfect for our travel to Queenstown.
The property was beautiful, clean and very comfortable. The location is a little bit away from Queenstown which provides a nice quiet space to reset after a busy day! Gerry is a wonderful host who is very accommodating and kind. We loved our stay at Blue Skies and were very grateful for the breakfast items provided and having our laundry done after a busy 2 weeks around the South Island. We hope to return in the future!!
Everything was wonderful, nothing we didn’t like.
The host was fantastic
Everything, it was one of the best bookings I have ever had. The accommodation and service were amazing.
The host, Gerry, was beyond amazing. I wish all people were as kind, attentive, and generous as she is. The place is cozy, private, and well-appointed with everything (and more) that you would need for a short or long stay. Plenty of space in the unit itself and the attached bathroom. The location is quiet, super clean, and very safe. Lovely neighborhood (and neighbors) and close to so many areas in which to explore.
Absolutely nothing.
Gerry ist eine sehr herzliche und liebevolle Gastgeberin. Sie liest einem jeden Wunsch von den Augen ab. Das Studo ist schöner als auf den Bildern, alles ist extrem sauber und gepflegt. Sie stellt einem Frühstücksutensilien bereit, obwohl man keine gebucht hat. Wäscht das Geschirr und die Wäsche! Ein Engel. Zu 100% zu empfehlen, hat uns tolle Ausflugs- und Restauranttips gegeben.
Gerry is an absolutely wonderful host! She makes you feel welcome as of the first minute. She was very responsive and incredibly attentive and helpful. If you get the chance: book here!
Es sind die Kleinigkeiten, die den Unterschied machen! Gastgeberin Gerry sorgt dafür, dass man sich willkommen und über Gebühr versorgt fühlt. Die Unterkunft ist gut eingerichtet und das Bett gemütlich. Es gibt eine kleine Terrasse, auf der man ganz privat sitzen kann. Fußläufig in der Nähe ist ein gutes Restaurant, und Queenstown ist mit dem Auto in 10 Minuten erreicht. Wir können den Aufenthalt bei Gerry unbedingt empfehlen!
Gerry ist eine tolle Gastgeberin, die sich liebevoll um alles kümmert, sogar Wäsche und Geschirr wäscht und einem alles für ein schönes Frühstück bereitstellt. Die Unterkunft war makellos und ruhig, wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und würden jederzeit wieder kommen.

Everything!
We liked everything about the property. Every corner has been very well thought out and the space has been beautifully and comfortably decorated.

I stayed at Blue Skies in Queenstown with my partner for three nights, and it was one of the warmest and most memorable stays we’ve had in New Zealand. The place is cosy, comfortable, and perfect for a relaxing getaway. Our host was an absolutely lovely lady - friendly, caring, and genuinely thoughtful. She went above and beyond every single day, making sure we had everything we needed. She even stocked the place with essentials like bread, milk, coffee pods, and left little chocolate surprises that made our stay feel extra special. She is truly the best host I’ve ever had. I’d highly recommend Blue Skies to anyone visiting Queenstown.
Room was bright and airy, furnished with good quality and decorative items. Breakfast was supplied each day.
Nothing to dislike
Gerry made us feel very welcome with her kindness. The room was amacculate with everything we needed and more. Gerry made sure we were not going hungry. Great choice of breakfast provided and some nice sweet treats. Loved the fairies that came to clean, restock and left another sweet treat on our pillows. Great location to check out Queenstown and surrounding areas.
Leaving
The owner of this lovely studio accommodation, Gerry, it an absolute gem! So lovely to chat with, very helpful with whatever is needed, and many unexpected little things to make our stay fantastic. Breakfast items (assorted cereals, yogurts, milk, bread, jams…) were provided daily and sweets on the pillows each night was a fun treat. Laundry is done and dishes are cleaned by the “Blue Fairy”. What a treat that was! There is a lovely patio with mountain views for outdoor dining and morning coffee. We stayed for 9 nights and would have stayed longer if we could have! Gerry was the kindest, sweetest and most generous host we have ever had!
Not a thing!
Gerry was an astonishing host - kind and attentive. The ability to have the dogs accompany us and the facility of a small private (fenced off garden) for them to be in was excellent. The studio was comfortable and quiet and very conveniently located for the amenities of Lower Shotover.
There was nothing to dislike or complain about.
Super comfortable and friendly stay.
The location. Quiet. Scenic. Away from the business of town. The host was amazing. Polite, curtious, very responsive when there were requests. I wouldn't fault Gerry's service.
Nothing really. It was all really perfect.
Quiet, cosy and exceptionally clean place. Located just far enough from Queenstown centre to avoid the constant traffic quagmire yet close enough to reach it in 10-15 min. Daily breakfast provided (toast with various spreads, cereal and oats). Guaranteed parking on the property (a true bonus in Queenstown). Gerry was an exceptional host from the moment she greeted us on our arrival till the last day we said goodbye. Every day after hard holidaying we returned to the room tidied up with beds made and little treats left on the pillows, dishes cleaned up, laundry washed and folded. By far the best host we have ever had.
The breakfast options were fabulous.
There was nothing we didn’t like. We enjoyed every moment of it.
We were looking for a dog friendly place and Blue Skies was just perfect. Gerry is a fantastic host. It was all the extra touches that were not expected that made our stay extra special. The Blue Skies definitely has a fairy 😉
So cozy and great service, so welcoming
I loved it
Keys were left inside for me on my arrival
Very fresh and clean
Gerry was very accommodating. Everything was clean and comfortable. Good private garden space for our medium sized dog. Will definitely visit again!
Gerry's hospitality is just exceptional. The best host ever. Sparkling clean accommodation, kind and thoughtful host. 10/10!
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 5/5 – A Truly Lovely Host! I had such a wonderful experience! From the moment I arrived, Gerry was warm, welcoming, and incredibly accommodating. Every detail was thoughtfully prepared, and her kindness truly made me feel at home. The space was clean, cozy, and exactly as described. Communication was easy and prompt, and her local tips made my stay even more enjoyable. Gerry, thank you again for making my visit so special! I will visit again soon
We loved everything but especially that we were allowed the dogs :)
That place is perfect from every perspective, by far the best option in the Queenstown area. It is spotlessly clean, beautifully and tastefully appointed, in a strategic location. We have been here already a few times, and we will definitely be back again. Actually, we planned our flights and our trip in Queenstown only after securing this place first! And let me talk about Gerry, the most lovely, delightful and kind host we ever found! She is a such a gem and we consider ourselves lucky that we got to know her. Needless to say, this is a very, very highly recommended option for a stay in the area - do not even bother to look anywhere else!
Nothing, as everything was faultless.
Sparkling clean, great location and fully fenced off yard
No view from the unit
Everything about the property was perfect and supported by a perfect host, who serviced it very nicely.
The property was clean, tidy and Gerry the host was just amazing

This has got to be one of the best stays i’ve had anywhere, everything was immaculate, the place was clean and tidy with little extras that are just that extra bit of touch to make you feel more welcomed. Everything about this place is just awesome! I would recommend to anyone to stay here :) + Gerry is a wonderful lady.

My daughter and I stayed at Blue Skies during our South Island trip, and it was truly exceptional. The accommodation was cozy and welcoming, with thoughtful touches that made us feel right at home. Gerry greeted us personally and made sure everything was perfect for our stay. It's easily one of the best places to stay in Queenstown — I highly recommend it!
Nothing!
Best bed in NZ
All good replies here
I like everything. The little touches, candy every night, help with laundry, the lovely cosy space, comfy bed, Netflix, good bread. Gerry is a lovely, kind, caring human and Blue Skies reflects that.
Nothing. It is a perfect space!
Gerry kept us well informed before and during our stay. Little add ons provided free of charge. Mainly chocolate
Very quiet very good facilities generous host who supplied plenty of breakfast options and delightful extras
Really lovely space that feels like home the moment you walk in. Has everything you need to make breakfast with the added bonus of nespresso coffee pods. Gerry is a kind soul, very friendly and approachable. You can genuinely tell she cares for her guests. I would love the opportunity to stay again, and I will recommend this place to others.
Nothing it was perfect
Comfortable, cozy, sparkling clean, well equipped, nicely decorated, top graded bedding, amply supply of breakfast items, very friendly host Gerry and much more

We stayed 2 nights there and it was perfect: first of all Jerry is a very kind and endearing person, we would have loved to take more time to discuss with her! Thank you so much <3 Coming back to the room: spacious, comfortable, very well equipped, with a surprising and good breakfast, in a quiet place. Jerry is one of the kindest and thoughtful hosts we have ever met
Wonderful host! Everything for the breakfast was already there including a Nespresso machine. The WIFI is now fixed and is very fast. Recommended!
Very good accommodation. It is very clean and well set up for a bed and breadfast set up.cereals bread milk coffee tea etc all supplied.
Could not fault it in any way.10 out 10. The best accommodation I have ever stayed at. Gerry the host a lovely lady.
The personal message left when we arrived, greeting us. And the little surprise gifts on the pillow each day. Gerry went above and beyond, was easy to contact if required. Will definitely stay again and recommend to others.
Gerry is a fantastic host, ready to help whenever we needed and very respectful of our privacy. The room is wonderful, a great size, well laid out and with a very comfortable bed. We had an excellent stay.
Everything
Everything perfect! Gerry is one of the best hosts I have ever met! A real pleasure to stay there! If we return to Queenstown it will be there!! Don't hesitate and book this wonderful room 🤗
Great hospitality. Clean and comfortable accommodation. Great and safe location.

Gerry was an absolute gem. If you are reading this and considering whether you should book this accomodation - look no further and book this, you will NOT regret this. I stayed here with my husband and even though we stayed a couple of days only, Gerry made our experience absolutely awesome. From welcome Timtams, offering to wash our plates and mugs, and doing our laundry, we can't fault this place at all. The room and bathroom were perfect for us, it had everything we needed. Gerry (also known as the amazing Blue Skies Fairy) is so so lovely, she really looks after her guests and makes sure they are comfortable. We look forward to being back!
Blue Skies was an exceptional stay. Gerry was welcoming and made us feel at home from the moment we arrived. It was so great to get her inside knowledge to the area and follow her suggestions on things to do. Just when we thought it couldn’t get any better it was so amazing to see she the notes, tim tams and chocolates when we returned from activities each day and a clean room with the offer of doing our laundry aswell. A highlight of our trip was watching a hedgehog wandering around just behind the back fence. Thanks Gerry, we look forward to returning one day!!

Everything was amazing... by amazing I mean perfect and I want to take the owner of this accommodation home... there is a magic fairy that does your dishes and laundry... chocolate on the pillows...wow , I felt like I was coming home. Gerry is just the perfect host. I Will recommend Blue Skies to anyone 💙
Our stay at Blue Skies Accommodation in Queenstown was absolutely perfect! Traveling with our wee dog, Snowy, it was such a delight to find a place that is not only pet-friendly but also incredibly warm and welcoming. The accommodation is exceptionally clean, creating a cozy and relaxing environment for us to enjoy. The attention to detail and the friendly atmosphere made our experience truly memorable. It’s rare to find such a gem that caters so thoughtfully to both humans and their furry companions. We had an amazing time and would highly recommend Blue Skies to anyone looking for a clean, comfortable, and dog-friendly stay in Queenstown. We’ll definitely be back!
Nothing
Gerry is a fantastic host that goes out of her way to make sure you have a wonderful stay. She's quick to respond, but gives you as much privacy as you'd like, and makes sure that you return to a clean and comfortable unit each night. Best of all are the "resident dish and laundry fairies", who take care of dishes and laundry while you're away during the day - eliminating the things that I dislike the most while traveling (or at home, to be honest), so I didn't have to worry about them at all. Truly one of the best services I've encountered, and at no additional cost at all. The unit is very comfortable with everything that we needed, and the location was nice and quiet but also not far to Queenstown or Arrowtown by car.
Gerry was so lovely, and helped us with everything we could need. The accommodation was comfortable, clean, and beautiful. We loved our stay at Blue Skies!
Everything was perfect!
Blue Skies has been the ultimate in accommodation we have experienced. This is due to Gerry, the absolutely amazing, considerate, warm and wonderful host of this accommodation. Gerry goes above and beyond for her guests. We highly recommend Blue Skies to everyone.
Everything was perfect.
Blue Skies was lovely. It was a little haven away from the city but within east reach of both Queenstown and Arrowtown. It was immaculately clean with a comfortable bed and a fabulous shower. But the best thing was the host Gerry who was so kind and generous with her time and the food that she provided for breakfast. And the chocolate!
Nothing - everything was great
Continental breakfast.
Everything was just perfect from the same begining of our stay. It was cold day in Queenstown, but nice and cozy inside when we got in. The host, Gerry is incredibily warm and nice person. For sure we will recommend any of our friends coming to NZ. Thank U for an unforgatable experienced we’ve had.
A beautifully presented and comfortable little piece of paradise. Blue Skies is accommodation of a very high standard and it will not disappoint. And Gerry is a perfect host and an absolute treasure. Full credit to her for providing such wonderful accommodation. Highly recommend!
Can't fault it!
Everything about Blue Skies is 5 star. Gerry is a fantastic host & goes above & beyond to ensure her guests are looked after. She is friendly, interested & offers advice & recommendations for activities & restaurants in the area. The breakfast provisions are generous. The accommodation provides everything you could possibly need. Thank you for making our stay in Queenstown memorable.
Gerry was the perfect host. Room was immaculately clean, presented with wonderful little extras such as breakfast supplies, room warmed when we returned after a day out and dishes washed and dried. Very quiet at night and no trouble sleeping in the comfortable bed.
That we didn’t stay longer.
Blue Skies is a great place to stay. Gerry is an amazing host who pays attention to every detail you might need, but at the same time lets you privacy. The house is beautiful, with a full equipped bathroom and comfortable double bed.
Quiet location, super host, everything we needed.
