My husband and I spent half of our Queenstown honeymoon here. Thanks for a lovely stay!
You won’t regret booking, it looks just like the photos. The best part is seeing the stars as you fall asleep each night and waking up to the lake views each morning. I like that there was an unobstructed view with no other houses so felt very secluded and romantic. The mattress and sheets are really comfortable and the honey was a lovely touch. Christine was friendly and came by to see if we needed anything.
Some easy fixes to improve the stay: kitchen was a bit understocked and missing some basics like pepper and a non-stick frying pan. A larger tv, the tv was too small to use (we knew that there was no wifi so had predownloaded things to watch at night, but the tv screen was smaller than our laptop screen). A deeper/more comfortable couch would make it easier to hang out in the living room; there was nothing to comfortably relax into. There’s no lighting in the bathroom to put on make up. The house is generally quite dark at night so a brighter lamp in the living room would have been good for reading etc.
More of a winter problem but every time you cooked it steamed up all the windows in the lounge. My husband made himself stovetop oats every morning so I never got to see the views in the morning as I woke up after him. I was saving my photos for the last day and never got any cause of that. So take any photos before you cook :)
These are all quite minor that would improve the stay, overall it was a great stay!
