We spent a week at Alpine Way and had a wonderful stay!
Never mind the location - which is very convient to central Queenstown without the noise and crowds. Never mind the views - which are even more spectacular in person! Never mind the beautifully-decorated home - the online photos don’t do it justice.
What is best about the property are all of the thoughtful touches Anne has put together for her guests. the house has been put together very carefully, with real thought behind how guests will use each space - not only the bedrooms and bathrooms and laundry room, but also the balcony, living room, dining room and kitchen. In particular, we enjoyed the most fully-equipped kitchen I have ever seen in an AirBNB. In addition to everything you might need as far as cooking equipment, Anne has supplied basic cooking ingredients in case you run out during your stay. We didn’t end up using anything, but it was nice to know they were there in case of last-minute emergency. How very nice!
The only comment I would make for future guests is to draw attention to the stairs within the house. The first flight of stairs taking you up from the street into the living room is quite narrow and steep. There is a second flight that takes you from the general living spaces to the bedrooms, then a last flight that takes you up to the children’s sleeping loft. We happened to have tons of luggage because our party was large and our we had all packed for 4+ weeks of travel, and had been amply warned about these stairs in the description, but just want fellow travelers to be prepared upon arrival.
All in all, we loved Alpine Way and would highly recommend it to anyone - even with small children like ours - to use as a base for exploring Queenstown.
