Provider-sourced guest reviews.
We had a fantastic stay at this property! The house was very clean and had a cozy, homely feel to it. We especially loved the added amenities like Netflix, a well-equipped kitchen, and laundry facilities, which made our stay super convenient. Our kids enjoyed the toys provided in the house. The beds were so comfortable, and the linens were freshly ironed, adding an extra touch of comfort. Highly recommend!
Location was perfect for our family as we did not want to be in the heart of Queenstown but not too far away which made this property the perfect spot. Nice quiet location, easy to get to and find. House was perfect for us had everything we needed for the week stay.
Traffic at peak times e.g. morning school and work start times bit congested, but we just waited for this period to pass than getting in/out of estate was fine.
It was very modern. Lovely comfy beds and everything working well
It was all lovely
Clean and comfortable
A bit far out of Queenstown
Spacious house, clean, got everything we need as a family. Lots of cooking seasoning available even soy sauce. TV got Netflix!
The location is around 10-15 mins drive to town centre or popular tourism places, nothing around in walking distance. Check-in delayed to 16.00 due to cleaner running late with no advance notice (had to ask knowing the delay). No tea bags (although do have a coffee machine/tablets), washing machine power running out completely (but we had our own so didn’t ask for more), detergent for the dishwasher was running very low as well.
Easy location to get to. Mostly clean in the majority of areas. Mostly tasteful decor, and nice linen.
Barely 2 rolls of small rolls of toilet paper is not enough for people for 3 days. Right under the flight path near airport so early wakeup. Lock box is difficult to get into. Dirty floors eg needed a mop as were getting lack feet. One of the lamps did not work eg bulb blown. Extractor fan over hob was greasy eg needed a clean. Bathroom door needs an oil, and roll storage cupboard door broken. A bit cramped for more than 2 guests. Neighbors mostly ok, but very close and some noise with a party one night. Garage not set up to take a vehicle, which would have been useful..
Clean and tidy
No issues
The beds were very comfortable. The house was very tidy and warm.
There was no dishclothes for washing up and more bags for the bin for rubbish. Spray and wipe for cleaning benches and table. Teatowels needed washing but there was no washing powder for longer stays.
Lots of space for 4 adults (parents + 2 grown children). Good kitchen facilities. Easy drive to the airport.
It was a very comfortable and well-appointed home. Very clean and beautiful. Like home away from home.Especially for the kids as they have a playroom in the laundry area. Linens and towels were very clean & fresh.
Nothing because it was perfect.
Lovely comfortable beds, house was cosy and warm. Very clean when we arrived and nice touches with hand soap / shampoo & conditioner. Loved the garage space for the kids & washing machine / dryer
Would’ve been nice to have slightly larger towels plus a rug in the main living area as it is mostly only planking throughout (apart from bedrooms)
All the rooms are clean and tidy, nice area closed to everything, pak n save, airport etc.
No comments
Very spacious, kitchen was well kitted out, the garage was converted into a 'room' where you could do your laundry and hang up your clothes which was really handy. Wasn't technically a 'drying' room for snow gear as didn't find any heating but still very useful to dry out stuff out of any rain. Also had some kids stuff in there like high chair, toy kitchen, a few toys. Heater in bathroom very powerful so wasn't cold at all in it, plenty of heating in other rooms so was cosy in winter. The layout made a lot of sense, with a master and a kids room down the back, next to the bathroom, and a separate bedroom on the other side of the bathroom closer to the lounge. Toilet with sink was separate.
You can definitely hear the planes overhead. Luckily the airport is not especially busy. Bible verses in tasteful font as decoration. Floor could have been a little cleaner. Not much within walking distance you WILL need a car here. No hand soap in toilet. Coffee machine not very good. But otherwise I would recommend.
Great location, comfortable and warm
No tea towel to clean dishes, generally clean but just some areas needed a little more attention. Very dusty behind toilet door
The location
The owner
The size of the property was perfect for our family of 6, having the extra garage space to wash and dry our clothes was really helpful. Well stocked kitchen and modern decor throughout. Fantastic shower!!!!!
Location of property was quite close to the neighbors. Not much garden space or privacy outside for children to play in.
Very lean and comfortable
Some complimentary milk would have been nice.
Comfortable beds, plenty of kitchen items to cook with and nice, quiet location.
We had to run the heaters all the time to keep any warmth in the house.
The house was very nice clean and tidy how ever it was very cold could do with a bigger aircon heat pump in the lounge as the one there is to small and doesn't throw out enough heat to heat the lounge and kitchen with the doors closed also the heaters in the bedrooms didn't heat the rooms very much either or though the electric blankets were very good .good area close to shops and takeaways. Had a nice stay thank you.
Close to shops and airport. Comfy beds, spacious rooms. Very handy to other tourist spots. Instructions book was provided for appliances and stuff.
Cleaners were late, so we had a late check-in. Broken light in the toilet, the bathroom door lock not working, and window blind in the lounge was broken. We didn't bother messaging the host at the time coz we were always out and about and too tired when we got home. The house could've been cleaned better, especially the toilet. My kids were a bit disappointed with that, too. Sofas need cleaning as well as you can see the stains.
The house was modern and clean
The light in the toilet didn't work. The door handle in the master bedroom was loose. The tv in the master bedroom didn't work on free to air.
Nice clean home in a quiet location with easy access to facilities & Queenstown
We booked this house out of necessity as we'd just left a very disappointing property in Queenstown. This was available on the same day which we were very grateful for. The house was large enough for the 5 of us and it was a quiet neighbourhood. A very short drive to the airport and the local shopping centre which is actually grate and a real bonus. Particularly if you're passing time waiting for a flight.
The house is situated across the road from high-tension power lines in a big empty field. The house was not thoroughly clean but clean enough if being picky it could have done with some paint and TLC. Situated in a newer-style estate it is extremely close to the neighbours and not walking distance to any shops, cafes or amenities. It offered only a single air conditioner in the main living space. Despite the TV instructions, we found most stations did not produce any sounds but Netflix was there to back us up! It is unusual that instructions are required to make a TV work, surely and easy update.
A small house with the layout and location suiting our needs.
The property is in need of maintenance and a refresh inside and out including lawns and gardens. Walls and skirtings are very scuffed and marked and in need of a paint.
The host answer my question quickly when I had some problem with the hot water.
We had a wonderful stay at this home! The host was incredibly friendly and accommodating, the house was clean and comfortable, and the amenities were top-notch. The location was also perfect, with easy access to restaurants and attractions. We will definitely be returning in the future and would highly recommend this stay to anyone looking for a great place to stay.
Very clean, comfortable, modern and plenty of amenities in a nice quiet neighbourhood. Plenty of space.
A bit far from Queenstown centre if one doesn't have own transport.
It’s in a perfect location close to shops and with a great view.
It doesn’t have proper Air Conditioning. During summer it felt like sauna inside the house. Outside temperature was just 22c but inside house was too hot. Ventilation system was bad and there is no way to cool down the house.
Very comfortable beds, Nice location, It was clean.
A little small, One toilet and bathroom Quite expensive for what it was
Close to the person we were visiting. House was clean and warm. The host was cooperative when we phoned for assistance.
Washing up brush and dishcloth would have made life easier. Also a manual for the oven as it was turned off at the wall upon arrival and every model is different. A bedside light in all bedrooms needed (only in the master).
For a place that sleeps up to 6 there was not enough towels, plates, cups, knives, forks etc. oven didnt seem to work. Not overly clean
The location was close to everything we needed. Close to pak n save, our rental company, airport, kmart...loved the garage with toys etc for our girls to play in. The TV in the room also. Loved it!
Some minor areas could've been cleaned a bit better however definitely not major. Was only a couple of little things.
Comfortable and well appointed.
As a couple who rather cook than eat out, we would liked more pans, pots and roasting trays.
Everything is good
Everything was nice and clean and comfortable
Nothing
Super comfy beds!! Nice and clean and tidy
Some of the window latches were broken which caused a draft and the heat pump was struggling to cope
Location, view
Great space for a family with older children, beautifully presented and spotlessly clean.
The large couch was comfortable but the extra seats & two seater settee not so much. Not enough facewashers for all of us.
Beautiful nice and clean property
Heater in the main room makes clicking sounds when it’s on.
Clean modern nicely appointed unit with all the conveniences. Beds were super comfy, Shower had great pressure, garage was useful for storing ski gear, doing washing etc.
The beds are very comfy. We liked the separate toilet and shower. Nice neighborhood and very close to supermarket.
Very comfortable, spacious for our family toys for my son convention for the bus stop and easy for our Uber. Very warm and cosy. Had everything you needed.
Could have done with a drier or drying rack for clothes as the shed wasn’t drying our clothes
good location to airport
heating wasn’t adequate very cold. hedge to front door needed trimming for accessibility. front bedroom would have been better centre of room with bedside tables either side and lampshade
Great location. House has everything you need
lovely home with comfortable beds .
there were instructions for the oven so perhaps it doesn’t work which was annoying. No clothes dryer so a clothes rack would have been great for indoors to put in front of the heater . Also utensils could do with a make over
Very clean and tidy , thank you for accommodating my family at last minute very much appreciated
The bedside light beside the outside door blew the fuse when I turned it on, I sorted out as im an electrician by trade. I would however get the lamp looked at as it should have blown the fuse like that. I was trying to book somewhere for 3 days up until I booked this place and noticed the price of the place went up more each day. Nice comfortable place to stay but not for the $592 per night considering the distance from queenstown and we didn’t arrive until around 9pm and had to be gone by 10am so not really any time to relax, had the price stayed around the $300 odd dollars when i 1st seen it i probably would have stayed a couple more nights, overall very well presented thanks
Very comfortable, warm and modern with a nice vibe.
The sheets and duvet cover were such crispy that they made a lot of noises. At every turn the other person waked up. It was very sleepless nights. It wasnt enough toilet paper available.
N/A
Host was not accommodating when wanted to cancel the last night of a three night stay.
Location outstanding for our purpose - volunteering at the NZ Open at Millbrook.
TV didnt work but host rectified after a little delay.
Close to Southern Cross hospital. Clean and tidy. Very comfortable bed.
Tried to contact host as TV would not work - no signal. Left message but got no response. Very annoying when you have elderly parents who cannot really do anything else and you have paid quite a substantial sum of money to stay there.
I liked the layout of the house and since it was very hot, the air con. The modern appliances and how clean everything was was also good. It was also quiet, which was lovely.
The armchairs and / or sofa could have been a bit more comfortable, but it was okay. I am short, and I couldn't touch the floor, so a footstool or something would have helped. I used a second armchair as a footrest.
nice and sweet
no
The house was very modern and well-furnished
Great location. Airport was just 4 mins away. Queenstown CBD is like 15 mins away plus Kmart (open till midnight) just mins away. Great interior deco and have almost everything we need and feels like home. Beds are very comfy. Perfect for family with kids where we can cook almost every nights plus easy to use appliances. We even did laundry 2 times in a 7 days stay. Host is very attentive to our questions and request. We will definitely rent again in future and highly recommended.
Range hood not working but not an issue, window with great views just next to the kitchen. Shower box has some leaking issues but it doesn't bother us. Small issue was very hot in this summer with only one AC/heatpump in the living where it takes a while to cool the bedrooms are night.
Location was great. Glad that we are away from the hustle and bustle of town, but within a short drive to supermarkets and eateries.
Everything was generally ok but the oversight in some areas was a little disappointing. We had 5 persons but there was only 4 sets of towel on arrival. Some cleaning essentials were lacking in the kitchen and laundry area. Thankfully host was responsive and had them replaced at the end of the day. Unfortunately, I did not manage to spot everything in time. For example, it was only when I wanted to prepare breakfast for the family on the last day that I realised the cooking spatula was broken. The laundry lines were sagging and were difficult to use if there were too many pieces of laundry to hang. There was no dryer in the house although it was included in the listing information. Overall we were not uncomfortable or terribly inconvenienced, but things could have been better.
Very comfortable and new property.
Only one washroom might be challenging for large families
clean and tidy, kitchen utensils, garage, privacy
room heaters are noisy
it was clean and beautiful. it was very well equipped for us as a family travelling with young ones! The location is great and close to shops and supermarkets.
We got cold one night as there was a bit of cold draught coming in from the window and there weren’t extra blankets to use.
Good location, comfortable 👌
Cleanliness. Internal access garage. Bathtub. Quiet location. Comfortable beds
The living area has vinyl plank flooring and not only does this make the room echoey, but in winter it is cold under foot. It would be great Nelson if you put a lovely big rug in the lounge area. The heatpump worked well, but a lot of heat went out the windows as the blinds don't offer very good insulation.. We couldn't get warm enough unless we were directly under the heat pump airflow. Drapes that cover the entire window frames would be great. When we arrived there was no coffee plunger and no facecloths, handtowels or a bathmat. Neither was there a cloth to wipe the kitchen bench. We asked the owner for these missing items, and he replied and acted promptly, but he brought only a coffee plunger and 4 handtowels. We had to use a handtowel to wipe the bench. It took us a while to get the oven going because there was no instruction book, only a very long and cumbersome URL in the "House Rules" that was virtually impossible to enter into the search bar of my phone. It would be so much easier to put in the instructions that the oven won't work if the clock is not set, and then give instructions to set the clock. Other things that would have been useful to have on arrival: a second chopping board, bodywash in the shower, paper towels, normal tea bags - there were only herbal - a bottle of cooking oil - we bought one and left it behind for the next users
Loved the location, breathtaking views of the snowy mountains. Only a couple minutes from the shopping complex and the airport and 5-8mins into the city. House was cute with gorgeous furnishing. Beds comfy and cosy, all with electric blankets. I'd highly recommend 👌🏽
Only thing was the house wasn't ready when we arrived and it would be another hour which was no big deal. We just left of luggage there and went for a little drive to arrowtown about 10mins away.
Everything
Nothing.
close location to coronet peak ski field and Frankton 5 mile shops
heating in the room isn't adequate for winter but electric blankets do make up for it tv is clunky to use
