If you're looking for a 5 star home where you can relax after a day of exploring all the Queenstown region has to offer - book this place and get on with planning the rest of your trip. This is, hands down, the best AirBnB we have ever booked for a lot of reasons. Jo & Martin value their guests and treat you like family. They communicate promptly and respond to any requests as though you are VIPs. The space is under the same roof as the main home but completely separated from it in every other way. We stayed for a week and in that time heard some small sounds we couldn't identify that were from the main home less than a handful of times. I assume the same was true for them (not) hearing us. It was a complete non-issue.
Everything about this home exudes luxury and simplicity. The spa pool and outdoor shower are wonderful and the patio and garden behind the guest suite are designed for sharing a coffee with someone or spending some time with your favorite book. The location of the home really could not be better - You are overlooking the Shotover river in a quiet and beautiful neighborhood away from the hustle & bustle of downtown Queenstown. You are a short drive from Arrowtown, Queenstown, numerous ski resorts, hiking areas, and loads of other adventure tourism options.
Ella, the family Labrador, is available for morning visits in case you decide you love her like we did. :)
I believe this property embodies what the founders of AirBnB must have envisioned when they started the company. We will stay here every time we have a chance and it's not already booked.
