Redfern Retreat

I don't know where to start when it comes to describing what I liked! The perfect home base for experiences like coronet peak, arrowtown and the shotover jet/canyon swing which are all only minutes away, far enough away from the craziness of queenstown traffic but still so close to town! The perfect place to retreat to after a long cold day of exploring.. heaters galore, plush carpets, comfy couches and beds, beautiful decor and that view! So sad to only have 3 nights in this beautiful place, thankyou for an unforgettable stay.

Absolutely beautiful and comfortable home for our family. Loved the touch of kids toys. The views were amazing. Plunger coffee so good! Beautiful blankets, soft carpet. The place was so clean and felt relaxing. Love the bath robe and sandals touch, packing for Queenstown in winter sandals was not on our list, so this was awesome. Heaters to keep the place warm. Such a nice location just outside of the busy city centre but only arms reach to drive. Quiet neighbourhood. Loved our stay we have recommend this place to friends and would definitely stay again when we are in Queenstown next.

A door stopper would’ve been handy for us on one of the room doors.

Fantastic property in a great location. Had all the amenities you’d need for a comfortable stay. Views were very impressive too!

Everything, the views, apartment was really big, clean and ideal location

Nothing

This was our favourite stay during our South Island trip. The apartment was spotlessly clean, the beds very comfortable and the kitchen well equipped with everything you need. We really loved the outdoor hot tub in the evening to enjoy some stargazing in the cold. Staff were very attentive and helpful. The apartment is about a 10 minute drive from the Queenstown centre but we personally preferred this - it was much quieter and we enjoyed the scenic drive to town each day. Great view of the mountains out on the deck. Added plus is it’s easily walkable to the Shotover Jet just down the road.

Absolutely nothing - we will 100% rebook if we’re ever in Queenstown again.

Gorgeous location, perfectly situated between Queenstown and Arrowtown and only a short walk down to the river. The spa pool was well utilised by us and felt nice and private despite being a shared facility. The apartment was very warm and well insulated and the couches were very cozy. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils etc and everything was accessible and easy to use. This was a thoughtful and considered stay and I would highly recommend this place to others!

The bed was a bit hard for our personal preference, but otherwise warm and spacious.

the accomodation was great , i had families from usa , they loved it - felt so warm at home loved it

The view were amazing Quick trip to town, Coffee van across the road. Very nice accommodation

Beautiful location, very clean and comfortable, the hosts left us some chocolate and a guide book upon our arrival. The mountain view from the balcony was just gorgeous. The apartment had all the utilities we needed, the beds and couch were comfortable. 10/10 stay, would definitely book again.

Fantastic hosts from start to finish. They provided plenty of information ahead of time, which made the self check-in process incredibly smooth and stress-free. Everything was clearly communicated, and we felt well-prepared before even arriving. The space itself was absolutely phenomenal—spacious, comfortable, and filled with natural light thanks to the large, beautiful windows. The view was a real highlight and made the stay feel extra special. It was a very comfortable place to relax as a family. We also appreciated the thoughtful touches throughout the property. Extra towels were conveniently stored in the cupboards, which was perfect for using the spa. There were board games available, which made for fun family evenings (even if a couple of pieces were missing here and there). The kids loved the drawing books and pencils, and the welcome chocolate was a lovely and unexpected treat. The kitchen was very well-equipped with everything we needed, making it easy to settle in and feel at home. Honestly, we would have happily stayed longer if we’d had the chance.

There really weren’t any major downsides to our stay. The only small suggestion would be to include some instant coffee alongside the plunger coffee. While the plunger option is great, having a quick and easy alternative would be appreciate when you just want something simple without the extra effort. Also worth noting (though not a negative for us), there are stairs to navigate. However, we were given advance notice, which was very helpful, especially for myself with intermittent mobility issues. Thanks to that heads-up, we had no issues at all!

Love the location. Property is well looked after and hosts anticipated every need.

There's nothing that we did not like about the property

Close to everything re required

Eine schöne Wohnung. Leider sehr abseits gelegen.

Comfortable and clean. Nice views. Good communication. Well equipped kitchen.

Beautiful property, it is very clean, the hosts are very communicative and fast response. They provide very detailed information about the area and some recommendations of restaurants, hiking tracks and activities in their booklet which is very helpful. We know it is made with love. Highly recommending this place, we had a pleasant experience!

We absolutely loved our stay here. The property was exceptionally clean, with crisp sheets and beautifully soft towels which made it feel very comfortable and welcoming. The lounge area was spacious enough for us to relax and watch TV together, and the dining table was large enough to spread out and enjoy meals as a family. The view from the balcony was stunning — I could happily sit there all day looking out at the mountains. The property really has everything you need for a relaxing stay. It’s also in a great location: just a short drive to Queenstown and within walking distance to some lovely local cafés. Unfortunately we didn’t get a chance to use the hot tub, but it looked amazing. As a family of three (two adults and our 12-year-old), the layout worked perfectly. Our child having their own room and ensuite made the stay even more enjoyable for everyone.

We didn’t book long enough

Very pleasant family stay! The host gave very clear instructions so it was easy for us to find the house. The house is super clean, modern and beautiful, satisfying everything we need. Highly recommend if you’d like to have a quiet and comfortable stay at Queenstown.

Lovely well maintained property with beautiful views.

Location is in Arthur’s Point and not Queenstown so our daily trips into town took longer and more expensive with Uber than expected.

Very clean and comfortable. We liked the 2 roomy bedrooms each with ensuite - very convenient for 2 couples.. Everything we required for our 3 night stay was there. Close to the Shotover Gorge. Would recommend.

All good.

The property was beautifully designed and extremely clean, with a very peaceful and private atmosphere. Everything we needed was provided, and the check-in process was smooth and well explained.

Superb unit with everything you need. Excellent communication. Would definitely stay here again.

Nice layout Location and views Robes and towels

Cooking smell in common landing area

여행을 시작하기 전부터 호스트의 자세하고 친절한 안내 덕분에 기분 좋게 여행을 시작할 수 있었습니다. 도착하고 나서는 그보다 더 만족스러운 숙소였어요. 모든 방이 정말 청결했고, 웰컴 초콜릿과 정성 가득한 퀸스타운 가이드북까지 ..ㅠ 정말 작은 부분 하나하나에 세심한 배려가 느껴졌습니다. 창밖의 뷰는 정말 아름다웠고, 숙소 뒤편의 스파는 완벽했습니다. 스파 사용 방법도 유튜브 튜토리얼로 자세히 안내되어 있었고, 낮이든 밤이든 물이 늘 깨끗하게 유지되어 있었습니다. 저만 알고싶지만..퀸스타운을 방문하시는 모든 분들께 꼭 추천드리고 싶어요ㅠ-ㅠ 도심과의 거리도 차가 있다면 전혀 멀게 느껴지지 않을 만큼 가깝습니다. 정말 최고의 숙소였습니다!

服务优秀，舒适的沟通，非常好，及其推荐

Well appointed. All the facilities that you could want. Clean and spacious. Contactless check in and out. Beautiful.

There was nothing not to like.

Communication with property owners.

The apartment is well designed and perfectly suited for a family with two children thanks to the two separate bed rooms and bathrooms. Nice views on the mountains and relaxing moments in the hot-tub. The host is very responsive and very helpful which was highly appreciated.

The apartment is approx. 6km away from downtown Queenstown and approx. 25 min drive to the airport.

It was a bit further out of Queenstown than we initially anticipated. We didn't hire a car, so we needed Ubers, which ended up being quite pricey. The hot tub is shared with the other 3 apartments. But the place is lovely, it has everything you need that makes it so easy to stay there, the finishing touches really make a difference, such as washing up liquid, olive oil, Etc. It was very clean, warm, cozy and beautiful setting. Recommended, if you have your own transport.

Location was excellent for us. Accommodation was perfect, very well appointed. We caught the bus or Uber's to get us in & out of Queenstown which is much easier than trying to find parking.

We only stayed 8 nights. Wish we could stay longer.

We loved the look and feel of the apartment. Everything was very comfortable, clean and well maintained. We Felt right at home as soon as we arrived, nice comfy sofas and beds. There is a balcony with a lovely view to enjoy. We made use of the shared hot tub too! (Love the fact there were dressing gowns and flip flops to use to go to and from the hot tub)!

Nothing

Cleanliness, design, well-equipped

Not far from the city centre. Perfect house environment.

Comfy and warm ! Starry night with a hot tub!

No

The owners were amazing, easy to contact and very accommodating. It was exceptionally clean

Location was perfect beautiful views and very clean house everything we needed was there. The spa pool was amazing, had the best relaxing holiday.

Felt like home away from home. Which was exactly what we were looking for. Big living and kitchen with a full dining table (hard to come by!). Loved the location not being far from Queenstown centre and having the peace and quiet.

I don't believe anything could have been better with our stay!

Alles! Ein wunderbares Appartement mit einer hochwertigen traumhaften Einrichtung, ein fantastischer Blick und ein kurzer Fußweg zum Shotover bootsterminal

Size of space was good

Beds were small and hard Bedding was low quality Towels were low quality Bathrooms were mediocre Price was high for the standard of the room

We loved this place. For our family of 4 adults was perfect for 3 days discovery around Queenstown. Place is about 10 drive out of Queenstown which was great for us we had a hire car. We had the upper level apartment so only one flight of stairs up. Location was also great to jump on the trails down to the shotover river which we did to run. Moonlight Track my fav. and down to Hugo’s tunnel a nice discovery to the river the other side. Views of the range through large panel windows was spectacular and changing. Sunrise gorgeous with snow on the hills. Place had everything we needed and hosts took great care to look after us. The hot tub was a hit with one of our girls who enjoyed a soak in light rain with the snow on the hills. Pretty memorable.

Nothing not to like.

From the start communication was excellent from Josh and Allanah, they happily answered all my questions in a timely and friendly manner. They had a very helpful welcome guide filled with things to do, places to eat and personal recommendations also. The wee sweet treat was also a lovely touch. The location was perfect for us as we did not want to be right in Queenstown itself. The property had everything we needed at our fingertips and was absolutely beautiful. The care taken in presentation was top level and that of a high end hotel. Whilst we had heating turned on the first night, we found the property warm enough to leave it off most of the time we were there. Having a laundry on the property was so helpful after having traveled for 3 days prior with no laundry facilities. I would definitely recommended Redfern Retreat to those that have transport (or are happy to use Uber) as a place to stay whilst visiting the area. Great value for money and lovely hosts that made our stay that much nicer. I will definitely be booking again if down that way. *recommend if you have mobility issues with walking up steps to ask for a lower level unit.

Great view of the snowy mountains. The apartment was nice & warm. Close to town and super close to the activities we had planned like the Shot Over Jet and Onsen Spa.

The unit was very clean and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Quite spacious.

Everything was fantastic except one thing, the water pressure was terrible. Couldn't have 2 taps going at once. Even one tap was slow. Other than that, it was perfect.

Absolutely lovely home away from home in a great location for exploring the region as well as having walks and attractions on the doorstep. Wonderful mountain views, all the facilities you might need and very nicely appointed. So many holiday properties have a little compromise or two that you accept because they are provided for strangers, whether it's budget furniture, a dodgy shower or crappy pillows, but Redfern has none of those and it makes a big difference. Communication with the owners was very comprehensive, helpful and always timely and their pride in the property and love of the area shows through. No problems at all experienced during our booking or stay; if it's on your shortlist, book it.

Nothing at all negative to report.

Everything! Amazing views of the snow capped mountains that you could almost touch. Clean and well maintained house. Quiet location, great hot tub overlooking the mountains. The owners really cover and explain everything to know about the house.

Hot water system had some issues with pressure and hot/cold randomly activating. But not a major issue.

Property was absolutely beautiful. Has the most spectacular views an absolutely loved my stay there

What’s not to like? Everything about the property was beautiful. Smelt great too lol…

Lots of space nice and clean, loved the spa.

Nothing

Clean & modern! Great location. Loved the spa :) the booklet with information from the hosts about places to visit was super useful.

Pillows slightly uncomfortable. Was not possible to use both showers at same time.

Everything was great for this stay. Rooms were clean and tidy, stars were amazing in this area. Hot water and heater worked very well. Absolutely worth of money, and will definitely recommend to friends and family.

None

Thank you once again for the amazing stay at Redfern Retreat, everything was perfect! 💯 We especially loved the nice weather and the amazing mountain view. Such a peaceful and memorable escape.

“Fantastic stay! The unit had absolutely stunning views, super comfy beds, and a quick, helpful response from the hosts. Would definitely stay again!”

Nothing

This place was gorgeous. Well laid out with two very generously sized double bedrooms and on-suite bathrooms. Incredible views of the mountain from a long balcony, large kitchen and dining room and comfortable living room area. 10 minute drive into Queenstown, and only slightly further to Arrow Town. Garage parking - all through we preferred to park outside in the car park. Washing machine and dryer.

We heard the neighbours coming in and out late at night which was a little disruptive.

We stayed in 2 apartments (ie 2x 2 bedrooms apartments - Suites 3&4). We arrive in the early evening hours but Check-in was totally smooth & apartments were ready (lighted), very cleaned, well furnished & kitchen fully equipped plus a delicious arrival welcome chocolate treat. These made our 2x5 nites stay exceedingly comfortable. Location was close.enough to Queenstown & Arrowtown with vehicle. Good dining options within 2mins drive from the apartments. Mountain view was fantastic especially with autumn coming. Hosts provided a very helpful comprehensive file on introduction & information of the property, things to do/visit, dining options, host's favourite activities around Queenstown region etc etc. Excellent place to stay in lieu of the Queenstown area. Extremely high chance of our return to the property.

Nothing to dislike.

Loved the spa outside & the apartments are great inside - hosts are so accomodating & friendly. We can’t wait to book in again

Nothing

We loved this property! The host was wonderful to work with and we ended up booking extra days because we loved it so much! Everything was perfect!

Beautiful, clean space. Loads of light in the living area. Kitchen was well equipped.

Nothing! Everything was perfect

It was a great location, not in the centre so a little quieter - we loved the views of the mountains from the balcony. It was a well appointed apartment, with great amenities. Loved the spa bath! The hosts were very accomodating & super friendly, it was such a wonderful place to stay.

Nothing, it all worked out really well! The only issue we had on arrival was the keys, but appears the previous people had messed them up, so not the owners fault here!

Hosts were extremely accommodating, communicated very well pre and on arrival. Provided clear check in instructions, provided 2 sets of keys not 1 which was awsome. The place itself is very modern, clean, well appointed with all homely touches. The hottub was great and always warm and clean. The house is within a residential area so it's very quiet and relaxing. It's well equipped with everything you need, and most importantly the hosts were outstanding. We got caught out by a cyclone in our home town delaying our exit, and the hosts we're very accomodating and communicated clearly. I'd strongly recommend this place for couples, small families or a group of friends.

nil.

This property was perfect for our family of four with two young kids. The area is quiet and very child friendly, but a very quick drive into the heart of Queenstown. Very clean and amenities were great. Lots of space for the kids to play and the view from the balcony was stunning. Not to mention the most comfortable beds we’ve probably ever had on a trip. We split our time between here and a well-known hotel and wish we had booked this property for the whole stay. We enjoyed both Gantley’s Tavern and Canyon Brewing whilst we were there which were amazing.

No complaints

spacious, views, facilities, excellent local pubs

nothing

Good customer service

The supplied kitchen paper roll was only 1/3 and not enough for 3 nights. The bedroom has space for a chair which would be more convenient if supplied. A box of facial tissue in each room would be great.

We loved the recommendations provided, that was so helpful. Restaurant and activities‘ recommendations were both for Queenstown and Albert town. The apartment is located a 5-10 min drive to Queenstown. The view from the suite/balcony was spectacular. We also loved the hot tub.

Beautiful views, quiet location and lovely apartment with high quality finishes. Conveniently positioned for catching a bus into town.

Beautiful location as long as you’ve got a car or don’t mind buses to get into Queenstown. A perfect bolt hole to get back to after action packed and c busy days. Loved everything!! .

Nothing it was perfect.

We loved the property. Very very quiet and only a short drive into town. Was super clean and spacious and had everything we needed . Would highly recommend staying there.

This is very well set up for families, couples and largish groups. Plenty of space and a fab terrace to look at the mountains and the stars. Love, love the hot tub, great after a days hiking, very quiet, love the Bialleti coffee maker (coffee supplied) and very handy to have a washing machine and dryer. Location is reasonable close to town and the Shotover jet boats are a 5 minute drive away. Decor is really nicely set up.

Nothing, our stay was too short
