Stay at Ibon House

Ibon house was a great spot for a group of 9 friends to stay for a few nights. Location was amazing and views were to die for. Everything you needed was available and there were tons of places to spread out. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would happily return if back in Queenstown. A little bit of TLC would up this from a 4.5 star rating to a 5.

We all were highly impressed with the space the property offered, we were 8 adults and could have accommodated an extra 2. Probably offered the best views in QT.

Spectacular views

The pictures don’t do justice to the views from this property. We all just wanted to sit in the window all day! I took hundreds of pictures because I couldn’t get enough. The place was spacious and we really enjoyed our time as a family of nine here! Our stay here just added to the magic of our visit to Queenstown!

Better than it even looks

Pictures actually don’t do this place justice, I expected views and a comfortable place, but in reality views are spectacular. From the kitchen, the bedrooms and especially the outdoor spa. It’s such a great escape place for a bunch of friends or two families. Highly recommend!

Phenomenal views

The property itself is older and needs some work. The heating could have been a little better, the fireplace unfortunately smoked the house out, but the views and location made up for it tenfold. Will definitely book again, its perfect for bigger groups.

Outstanding sanctuary so close to Queenstown!

Fantastic property in a brilliant location. Views were unobstructed and and absolutely incredible. Property is a little older, but photos are a true depiction of what to expect. We were two families staying for a week and we were very comfortable with plenty of space in the middle of winter. So quiet and easy to get around. Would highly recommend and would love to go back!

Stunning views and great home for a group.

We stayed here with friends and family. The house has the most amazing views and is very comfortable. Whilst aspects of the home may be a little tired the location and amenities far outweigh this.

Happy Holiday

We had an amazing stay at this beautiful property, with stunning views over the lake. Our one small gripe was the way they handle rubbish during your stay. While the conditions of stay clearly outline how rubbish is handled, it is a hassle and this needs to made easier for the guest.

Heavenly view...

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Absolutely loved our stay at Ibon House. The Bach is huge and comfortable. Ample room for 10. Unparalleled views from the whole house. Convenient to town though not via foot. Slightly disappointing that the spa had to be hired on top of the Bach, but the hire was easy and recommended.

The best view I've ever seen

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved the view from the living room, and the incredibly tasteful decor! The living areas provided a very comfortable space for our 10 guests. I need to point out some of the downsides around the bedrooms, however: - 3 of the bedrooms have sliding doors that lead directly into one another (I am not sure why!) - the upstairs 'master bedroom' is not a master bedroom. It has a good ensuite, but the room is small and it has no door - if guests come to use the garage or the ground floor bathroom, they will be 'in' your room. - the actual master bedroom appears to be locked off from the house. Those oddities aside, the place really is spectacular. The pictures do not even start to do the place justice, and it is an entertainer's dream. My wife prepared for the wedding in the living room in front of the view of the Remarkables, and she says it was an unforgettable experience. The property's private location out of the city is ideal: there plenty of parking, it's not too long a walk down the hill (although I wouldn't want to walk back up), and it's a very short drive down to the bottom. The property was kept very clean, we were very happy with the presentation.

Remarkable view, comfortable house

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The view from every room of his house is gorgeous, and it changes all day as the light and clouds change. The house itself is nicely laid out and comfortable. Our family of 10 stayed a week and had a great time. We especially liked that the tables, both inside and outside, comfortably seat 10. Our weather wasn't great, but the outside patio is large and we would have used it a lot in warmer weather. The walk to town takes about 35 minutes and is pretty, but we were not game for walking back up the hill to get home. We had cars and there are taxis in town, and apparently a bus that gets close to the house. Being up the hill is the price you pay for the beautiful view, and it is totally worth it! Little maintenance things keep me from giving a fully fabulous review. Some lights weren't working, the dishwasher is temperamental, the Internet was annoyingly slow, and there were other things, all of which would have been easily fixed with an hour or two of a handyman's time. (I wrote to Goodstays about this, and hopefully they'll fix things before the next guests arrive.)
