Queenstown Lakefront Dream | Hot Tub | BBQ |
Travelling with family of 6 plus grandparents. Was a great stay and 5-10 mins from airport and 5-10mins from town depending on traffic. The layout was good for us as we could stay upstairs while the grandparents had the self contained unit downstairs. The main living room was great and had a big window that captured the views amazingly. The outside had a nice little outside space with table and chairs and great on the couple of sunny days. The hottub was good on our ski days and overlooked the water which was nice. The property was clean and functional and had the basics. The bedrooms were on the smaller side but was fine for that style and time of building. One thing to keep in mind is that the driveway is a little harder to get down coming from the south if you have a long wheel base. This is due to the orientation of the hairpin corner. It sometimes hard to get out from during busy times if heading south as you cannot clearly see around the corner and can be dangerous.

Fantail-Uninterrupted Mountain & Lake View-access
Beautiful apartment! Very clean looks just like the pictures. Can’t get enough of the views! Had everything we needed down to kitchen utensils and heater. Roughly 5 mins drive to the city. David is also very responsive and checked in on us which was nice. The only downsides I would say are the stairs to get to the apartment, more so only on check in and out days with heavy luggage, but we were very well aware of that prior to booking. Also the driveway is a bit tricky but still overall 5 stars. My partner and I enjoyed staying there.

Deck 146 - walk to town
Awesome place, perfect location, amazing views. Would stay here again when returning to Queenstown.

Lakefront, amazing views, spa & 5 min walk to town
we had an excellent stay at the Bay House. everything is as pictured— beautiful furnishings, spacious, super clean, uncluttered. the location also cannot be beat with the lake just across the road and an easy walk into town. there was plenty of room for the three of us, the kitchen was well equipped and the washer/dryer came in handy after going on rainy/muddy hikes. it was rainy a few days during our visit to Queenstown but we did not mind spending time indoors at this home playing board games and reading. highly highly recommend!

Lakes Edge, Kawarau Falls
This is a truly beautiful home and now our second stay! We love the views, location, the jet boats passing through and all the wildlife the natural environment provides. We prefer to commute to town on the water taxi to avoid the busy traffic. Thank you again for sharing your beautiful home.

We travelled to Queenstown for our wedding and could not be more thrilled with our choice to stay at this beautiful property - honestly, we cannot fault a single thing! Jo has gone above and beyond to think of everything you could possibly need for a comfortable and luxurious stay. This house will hold a very special place in our memories, and we hope to return on the future!

Wanaka Family Friendly Home
Excellent family home, perfect for our family getaway! Loved the location, was a quiet respectful street and was close to bike tracks, park around the corner, community pool not far and a small supermarket at the end of the short street. Beds were comfy, great shower pressure, and the kids loved having a play outside every evening on the play area, and then having a bath to finish off there day. I would love to stay again if we were that way.

The apartment had a warm feeling. It was simply amazing and the apartment had an amazing feel. It gave such relaxing feel and we enjoyed our stay there. There were slight issues when we first checked in, but the hosts were very responsive and friendly. They resolved it promptly, making us happy. Would recommend this for others.

Luxe Living with Lake & Mountain Views
Highly recommend! Beautiful studio! The view was stunning! The deck was amazing! So quiet and peaceful. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook a couple of meals which was a great break from eating out. Close to shopping and restaurants and the views are surrounding you everywhere you go! The host was very friendly and everything was super clean. The bed was kinda soft and a little uncomfortable but we would stay there again!
