What a beautiful, well-cared-for home, with ample space to spread out both inside and outside. Ideal for either a large or small group. The separate tv room was great for the teens as was the outdoor lounge and dining area. The heated pool was fantastic for everyone to have fun, before relaxing in the spa. The outside shower was handy. Kids loved retrieving the firewood from the shed for the outdoor fire and making their own s’mores in the fire.
The pantry was well-stocked and available for guests use. Another extra highlight was feeding the chickens (optional - out the back) and collecting fresh eggs for breakfast 😍. Strawberries and raspberries from the garden up front were delicious too 😍.
Maybe some small laminated cards for operating stove, oven and washing machine could be handy as it took 5 mins to figure stove out (we don’t have a gas stove).
We could have been right in Queenstown, but the kids wanted a swimming pool. Despite this, I don’t feel we missed out on anything. We were in town pretty much everyday for cool activities and Qtown was only a short drive away.
The Arrowtown Hayes area is picturesque and the air crisp and clean, with the township and the lake in close proximity. We were away from the hustle and bustle of town and yet Frankton was a hop and skip away with Pak n Save, Countdown, Warehouse and other shops for close by shopping. This house was a great spot and you could really just RELAAAX when you returned from the day’s activities.
Thank you to our host - Candice was wonderful and quick to respond to queries and the like. My communication could have been a bit better😬, but all in all, this house was perfect for us and we would love to return if we get the opportunity❤️.
