We absolutely LOVED our stay here! We spent two full days doing intense hikes in the area and our third in cold/rainy Milford Sound, and couldn't have asked for a cozier place to call "home" at the end of each day.
The location is perfect if you're basing yourself in the Queenstown area, but don't want to fight the tourist crowds getting in/out of town. The loft is located in Kelvin Heights, which is the perfect launchpad for the drive to Milford Sound or areas north of Queenstown (Wanaka, Arrowtown, etc). Takes about 15-20 minutes to get to "downtown" Queenstown, and it's an easy drive. A short walk in this quiet residential neighborhood takes you to the edge of Lake Wakatipu, and chances are, you will have it all to yourself (unlike the busy lookout point in Queenstown, where you are surrounded by 20-30 other people). Stunning views from the apartment itself as well!
The loft was larger than I expected, with plush new carpet and the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in. The interior is thoughtfully decorated, immaculate, and stays warm with a large heater which can be rolled from room to room. The bathroom has heated floors and a great big shower, complete with luxurious body wash/hand soap (sooo nice after a day out in the cold!). Kitchenette has everything you need to start the day - a Nespresso machine with included pods (a big perk), small fridge, toaster, kettle, microwave, and plenty of glasses/cutlery/serrated knives. There's even a large closet in the kitchen area for storing luggage, in case you're planning on a longer stay.
Anna was a wonderful host! She came out to greet us as we checked in but otherwise gave us space to do our thing. Great communication. Couldn't have asked for a better stay!!
