Perfect location

We had a great time with family at this beautifully located lake house. Everything was as expected and we preferred staying in Frankton as opposed to the main town where there is a lot of road works and traffic.

An absolute pleasure

Casa Via Lago was a great place to stay. As a large family unit, it offered us all the comforts of home with the luxury of a holiday home. With plenty of space to spread out, it never once felt like we were under each other’s feet (and with a group of 13 that was perfect for us).The owners were very accommodating and friendly.We loved staying there and will definitely be back in the future.

Great value stay

Lovely place to stay. Great views over to deer park and remarkables. Leceister was easy to deal with. The place is pretty low key but good value at the price. There is a little bit of traffic noise but you dont notice it from most living areas.

Huge house. Great views

13 friends gathered for a week of fun in Queenstown. Great house and location. Everything perfect. One thing to know, the bottom level bedroom is one huge room with two double beds and an additional double pull out sofa bed. So basically 6 can sleep in one giant room with a large bathroom on that level. The additional 5 bedrooms in the house are very nice. One very small bedroom has one twin bed for one regular size person. Extremely spacious. Excellent communication with the owner.
