The Moonlight Escape Lodge was one of my best Airbnb experiences. Juliet and Dave are so friendly and kind, the rooms were spacious and modern with beautiful views, Juliet is a whiz chef, and I was even treated to a little gold panning lesson down at the river. If you’re looking for “off the beaten path” (the lodge is 5 min up a gravel road), with serene views and still close to town (10 min away), this is the place for you! There are walking trails around the property and you can also easily walk down to the Shotover River, with the Shotover Jet base and a brewery just next door. Noodle, the resident cat, is also a delight. Overall so pleased with my stay and will definitely be back when I’m in Queenstown.
