Jenna prepared everything we needed for living and breakfast, the house had an exceptionally beautiful view and was the most satisfying accommodation I had on the trip. Bicycles were also provided for us and the house is next to a walkway that takes us directly to Queenstown. Very easy to get around!

    Beautifully presented, clean, cosy and welcoming. Lovely little touches like cereals left for our for breakfast, speciality tea selection, local honey, plunger coffee (in addition to instant coffee) and some chocolates left for us too. Super friendly hosts and great location just a few minutes drive from QT centre. Great to have the separate unit so we felt like we were staying in our own wee home away from home, quiet location with a stunning view and the sound of the river (and occasional jet boat!).

    Great location, close to city centre (short 7 min walk), very cozy and super clean. The hosts were also adorable and went above and beyond to accommodate our needs. We would leave every morning at 7 to hit the mountains and they made sure to leave us some cold breakkie ready to go. On our last day we managed to have breakfast during normal service hours (between 8 and 9:30) before heading to the airport, and dare I say that the eggs Bene with bacon were simply amazing.

    This boutique guest house was incredible! My partner and I stayed for 3 nights. The staff were amazing & extremely accommodating - from an early check in to overall service. The location was fantastic as well. Queenstown is built on a hill. It was just 1 steep street to the city centre. Couldn’t have been easier to get to and from town. The bed. We usually stay in mainstream hotels, but the mattresses are always terrible. Our room had the most comfortable bed I’ve ever stayed on.

    The motel was in great location, five minutes walk to town. Next to area where the tandem paragliders landed, fascinating. It was very quiet, no noise even from the adjoining rooms. The host was very helpful in advising us of supermarket close by and of Balls and Bangles cafe for breakfast or lunch. Great laundry facilities, which also had extra towels available and tea and coffee sachets if you had run out.

    Have stayed at quite a few hostels and this one was excellent. Ticked all of my boxes, comfy bed (loved two pillows, duvet and towel), room had heatpump and window for fresh air, night light, curtain, heaps of storage space, clean bathrooms close by, great location (in city but down quiet street) and finally super helpful and friendly staff. Bonus was room guests were cool, quiet and considerate. Would highly recommend for your stay in Queenstown!!
