  Beautiful view, modern, comfortable beds. Elite shower and bath. Closer to boat shed cafe and bakery. Car park right outside. Open plan living/kitchen/dining all with view to water.

  Cheap finishes - eg toilet paper quality, body wash, tea/coffee etc. Would really elevate the stay to have better quality items inside a beautiful home. No electric blankets. Hadn’t received check in information prior to arriving at property. Big hill down to the water which we were too lazy to walk down to 😂 but would have the same view without it!

  Great property but mind your head whilst cooking.

  Clean tidy and modern. Bedrooms were comfy, En-suites were very modern. Snug with TV in was, well, very snug. Fantastic location with great views.

  I was a bit thrown off by the request for me to send a picture of my ID and credit card details for a damge deposit via an unsecured communication method like WhatsApp. Genuinely had me worried about what to do for a few days as we were already travelling and would have nowhere to stay in queenstown unless I sent everything on an unsecured chat that a fraudster could possibly want. Booking.com were utterly useless when I sought advice and every AI chat and google search said "beware, scam". Spoke to the property owner on the phone and that put me slightly at ease. But it wasn't until we got to the property and had access was I put fully at ease. It wasn't a scam and the requirement for giving this info is listed in the property details on booking.com but I hadn't taken much notice of it or considered the security implications. It was the only place that requested this during our whole NZ tour. We stopped at 4 other properties across the country, both islands, during our holiday. As for the property itself, it is really very nicely furnished however, the kitchen/dining area is designed with style rather than comfort in mind. Every adult in our party hit their head at least once on the corner of the kitchen cupboard above and to the right of the cooking hob, and it was painful. You can tell by looking at it its been headbutted more than once in the past as the corner seems to have been blunted slightly by repeated hits. I'd recommend wearing your ski/snowboarding helmet if cooking.
