Fantastic property for a family. The property managers ensured we were comfortable and communicated clearly with us throughout our stay. Location for us was great.
Well appointed property with everything you need for a great holiday in Queenstown. Clean and comfortable with plenty of room. We were a party of 5 and this property worked really well.
Seamless and easy checkin and departure.

We loved our 6 night stay at the apartment. The property was clean, modern, and a great location. The view from the front of the townhome over Lake Wakatipu was just beautiful. It was a nice quiet location, but still only a 10 minute walk to the centre of Queenstown. We wish we had booked longer!After a brief challenge when we first arrived with the digital lock on the back door, we managed to resolve with the owner quickly via phone and they came to replace the batteries to ensure we didn't have any further problems (but we were never locked out). Communication was prompt and friendly.It was very spacious and perfect for our family holiday.
This property is the best! Loved everything about it. Location, view, size was big enough for 6 adults.
Only a couple of suggestions, more detail on T.V settings etc, we are league lovers and struggled to watch any on T.V, also main bedroom electric blanket didn't work but not a major!
Will be back, you get what you pay for.
We stayed for 7 nights in the villa in Queenstown. It was exactly as shown in the photos on the Stayz website.
Lovely touches in the bathrooms, like luxurious bathtowels and heated flooring and towel-rails.
However, a few little things were missing, such as no tidy bins or tissues in the bathrooms.
Overall we were very pleased with the villa, including the absolute lakefront location.
Thank you
Very pleasant property, within an 8 minute walk into town. Great peaceful views over the lake and spacious with 3 bedrooms to enjoy holidaying with family.

Lovely apartment in a perfect location
We stayed here with two young kids and three adults. It was the perfect size for us and we loved the location- such a scenic and easy walk to and from town. Amenities were great and the fireplace was perfect for cold evenings spent in.
Hi,
I am hesitant to give such a positive review as I hope to keep this place a secret ! It was up to expectation and our family had a very enjoyable stay. I would "quietly" recommend again...
We had a great stay, even though we were from just down the road (Glenorchy) this was a great get-away.
Arriving late, but an easy entrance. Some milk in the fridge would have been handy but this truely was the only small flaw.
The apartment was warm, beautiful and stunning views.
It’s a most! 10/10 stay
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The close proximity of the property makes for an easy walk into town. We found the property to be well appointed and super clean. We look forward to our next visit.
