I couldn’t possibly recommend Kaye or her place enough — both are wonderful and make Queenstown feel extra special. The penthouse is everything you imagine it to be, but somehow even better in person. The pictures are very accurate, but they don’t do justice to how stunning the view is — or how well-appointed and stylish the home is. Other pluses:
-Perfect location. 5 minute car ride to downtown (quite walkable) but still just far enough away to be quiet and private.
-Working fireplace! So often, you see fireplaces on AirBnBs but then find you when you arrive that they don’t work. This one does, and Kaye provides everything you need to operate it easily and safely.
-Comfortable bed (with a view!), and heated floors in the bathroom. It’s these little comforts that make the space feel extra special.
-A magnificently thoughtful and communicative host. She took the time to put together a full book of recommendations, and it’s spot-on.
10/10 experience, hoping to visit again in the coming years.
