    Getting Around

    Distance from nearest supermarket: FreshChoice Queenstown, 64 Gorge Road — 2.0 km

    Other Things to Note / Good to Know

    Stairs: internal and external: External stairs from driveway; internal staircase to second level

    Water: Runs on a hot water cylinder (2 tanks here each 180L) with a set amount, so larger groups should space out showers. If the hot water runs out, please allow 3–4 hours for the tank to reheat

    Power: Running too many appliances at once may trip the power

    Fire alarm: Sensitive, so please take care when cooking and have the extraction fan turned on

    Extra linen and a mid-stay clean are available for a fee.

    Baby Bundle (portacot, high chair, baby bath) is available on request for NZD $50.



    Please make all requests at least 3 days before arrival — later requests incur an additional NZD $10 call-out fee.

The views from the living area are absolutely amazing. The location is very convenient to town, and the property is maintained impeccably, is perfectly clean and in great shape. The only thing we noted is that the twin beds in one bedroom are in need of being replaced and the kitchen is a bit dated, but still perfectly clean and very usable. We were extremely happy with this property and would come back again in a heartbeat.
