The scenery on the drive from Queenstown to Lake Ohau is incredible the entire way, but nothing will prepare you for the moment you see the icy bright blue of Lake Ohau. And when you finally arrive at Lake Ohau Quarters, you realise you will have all that beauty and grandeur to yourself for the next few days. The photos don’t do it justice, it has to be seen in person. Snow capped mountains on the back, that blue lake to the front and the luckiest sheep in the world all around.
The house itself is intelligently designed, generous in space and will cater for very large groups - our family of four enjoyed the luxury of amenity and space greatly. Everything is of high quality and most enjoyable is the biggest (and manliest) open fireplace you will ever see.
Mel is the best host you could have, she is warm, relaxed, lovely and only a phone call away whenever you need something. The kids really enjoyed helping Mel feed the sheep (Ralph, Clint Eastwood, Tuesday and Cinders to name a few). Stella the little wee Jack Russel is lucky to have not been stolen home by the kids.
A special and remarkable experience for our family and one that will be remembered for a long time and revisited shortly.
