This was a wonderful location with a great view of the lake and mountains. My only criticism is that payment and communication was completed through another platform and application vs everything through VRBO.

Hi Rachel, Thank you for your review — we’re glad you enjoyed the location and the views. As is common when a professional property manager lists across multiple platforms and acts as the merchant of record, payments and guest communication are handled directly by us rather than within VRBO itself. We appreciate your feedback and hope you had a great stay. All the best, Goodstays.

The views from the property are outstanding. I don't believe the property is as clean as it could be and having bed linen pushed into cupboards is also not very appealing. There needs to be an audit of cutlery and cooking utensils as some were broken, as well as replacement of light bulbs. A welcome folder that explains everything in the house including where the dryer is located would also be helpful, rather than assuming everyone can access the app.
Stayed 6 nights in Mar 2026
Response from VrboOwner on 27 Apr 2026
Thanks for your review, Elaine; we’re really pleased you enjoyed the views, they are pretty amazing. We’re sorry to hear parts of the stay didn’t quite meet expectations. All arrival information, including access details and house information, is provided prior to check-in and in the Guest App, which we do encourage guests to access. You did reach out on arrival, at that time we provided immediate assistance, including a follow up call to ensure you found the property and were comfortably settled in. Additional bedding is stored in the cupboards to allow for different configurations and is kept folded for guest use. We also appreciate you flagging the spatula — this was checked and addressed following your stay, along with a general review of kitchen items. Your feedback is appreciated and has been taken on board. All the best, Goodstays.

The view is even better than the pictures. It’s breathtaking. Everything we needed for cooking, laundry, etc.. was available unlike many other places. We loved having a grill. This is one of the best stays we’ve ever had. Only one small thing is to make sure if you are driving that the garage is very tight. We had a small SUV and fit fine just takes a little maneuvering (backing in is the trick).

Every morning, we woke up to this splendid view, and it never got old. The place was great; we stayed there 6 nights and the 4 (two couples) of us were busy every day. The location is close enough for walking about Queenstown (and we are late 60's early 70's from the US) and we all agreed that the location was ideal for our needs. It was a wee bit cold during our visit, but the gas fireplace was the go-to technology for warming - a couple clicks and bam, it was lit. New Zealand is our new favorite place on earth!
