We had the absolute pleasure of staying in this incredible Queenstown home for the past week, and it was everything we’d hoped for and more! Perfectly positioned in a quiet street, the home offers breathtaking 180 degree views of The Remarkables, Lake Wakatipu, and the stunning surrounding landscape. The views will stay with us forever! It was an easy walk to local restaurants and attractions, or just a short drive to routes taking us further afield. The cosy spaces, romantic fireplace, and body warming hot tub made it a true retreat. The hosts were fantastic, communicated well and were committed to making our stay worry free. We couldn’t have asked for more, thank you!
