We had 7 people stay comfortably at James's over Xmas! James left us a Christmas tree and ornaments to decorate the tree which was very thoughtful and we enjoyed. The house is a little stuffy during the day but we opened the windows and doors to provide some airflow, however this means there were bugs around (house has no fly screens). Not a big deal but we did have to kill some flies throughout the day. Note there is only 1 stand-up shower, the second shower is a tub with a detachable shower head, and there is no TV. Great views of the lake from the living room. Short walk to the beach. Overall, we enjoyed our stay at James's while we were in Queenstown and would recommend!
