Where should we begin with this review? We had such a great stay at Laurel Bank on our first night in Queenstown that we actually stayed there for a second time and few days later. The house has a great history, and is unbelievably charming. The room was impeccable and the king size bed reminded us of home. The whole place felt like a mini-museum, and the antique furniture was such a perfect touch. We very much felt like we were part of Queenstown's past.

The property is about 10 minutes drive outside town on a large piece of land. Therefore, it is very quiet and peaceful.

Sheena is wonderful host. She went a step beyond giving us recommendations by actually dialing some of the activity companies we mentioned and asking them for availability, weather conditions, best time to come, etc. She made us a very delicious breakfast both mornings we were there, and happily answered all our questions about the home itself. You will love casually hanging out with her three dogs.

We can't recommend this home enough to other travelers. It's an experience in itself.
