Great place just outside of town

We have a lovely time at this property. It had plenty of room for my 1 yo to run around with a nice little courtyard. It was conveniently located with shops only a 5 minute drive down the road and queenstown only 15-20 mins away. The property had good facilities with a coffee machine and washing machine which came in handy with a child. The host was very helpful and responsive. All in all a great place!
