While the view is fantastic, the place was really really cold. Yes, Queenstown in May is cold but we’d come from snow, and those places were a lot warmer. We walked in and it was just freezing, it was warmer outside!! We had the heat pump on full noise (power bill wouldn’t have been great) but it still took ages to get warm. We ended up going to bed early with the electric blankets. The host was very receptive to our questions about the heating, but in the end, it’s the design of the house. We left early the next morning as it just wasn’t as welcoming as other places we’d been. Highly recommend the Boat Shed Cafe across the road by the lake, fantastic breakfast.
