The place was great for either who rents a car or takes local transportation. We rented a car but the ferry to Queenstown was about 15-20min walk from the house and the house is also off a main bus route from the airport. Easy keycode door for check-in and check-out. The house itself is just as described. Since there is no kitchen. No cooking and the bathroom sink acts as a dual function of bathroom sink and kitchen sink to wash dishes. We did get rained in for a couple of days so we stayed in the house. Due to it being an attached loft above the main house. You can hear the hosts/managers having conversations or children playing since the walls are pretty thin. Other than that no washer on site described in the listing and the closest laundry mat was about 10-15 mins drive so that's another thing to consider if planning on staying a long time. Overall we would recommend it for short stays but not long term stays.
