Very enjoyable stay!

This was great accommodation for our family group of 6 adults and one small person. The house was warm and comfortable despite the chilly temperatures outside. The living areas were spacious with great views of the lake and mountains. The location is quiet- away from the bustle but only a short 10 min walk through the Gardens to downtown.

Excellent house, amazing views!

The property is excellent. Great layout, big windows to expansive views from all areas of the house. Very comfortable. We enjoyed BBq meals with the best views…Only feedback is that a Bluetooth stereo would have made it perfect. This was the only thing missing. The back Laundry door is tricky to lock.

Warm and spacious

Our stay at The Lakes Edge made our snow trip during Winter Pride so much easier. The house was quirky, warm and spacious with very large living areas and a good dining area. We hired a jacuzzi which went into the back yard with Spa Hire Queenstown and it was already set-up and hot by the time we got in on the first afternoon. Goodstays manage the property well and are very responsive. I recommend staying here!

BEAUTIFUL VIEWSxv

The property overlooks Lake Wakatipu and the views are awesome. It is about a twenty minute walk from the Queenstown town centre. The house was in good order. Clean and tidy. The only thing we found a little frustrating was removal of rubbish. We were eight people in the house for ten days and we ate home a lot so we had to be extra careful but we did manage in the end. Great place to stay!

Thanks for this review of The Lakes Edge house, great for slightly larger groups that want the convenience of being near town, without being right in town. We appreciate it when guests contact us with any concerns during a stay as we may be able to resolve issues and save any inconvenience.

Great location, in need of an upgrade.

Overall, we had a really lovely stay at this property. The location is amazing being so close to the water and ideally about a 10 minute walk into town. The house was great although could do with a bit of maintenance and an upgrade. Majority of the doors didn’t close properly and simple things like putting fly screens on the windows would be amazing to prevent bugs getting in but still being able to enjoy the fresh lake air. The check in process was simple and easy and communication was fast when required.
