Mind-blowing views is utterly correct. The house is beautiful- high spec and beautifully equipped. Appreciate the fact that the kitchen is well stocked with everything you need to make a nice dinner (the only thing we could find was a grater). It doesn't usually get hot in Queenstown, but we were there on one hot day, when a fan might have been useful as there wasn't any AC. The house is PERFECT for winter though, with ample blankets, underfloor heating and other heat sources.
Be aware that taxi drivers sometimes won't come up the drive, so just meet them at the cul-de-sac at the bottom, no biggie. We had an issue with the spa pool not heating up- Melanie was pretty quick at responding and sent someone out a couple of times. Do note that the back bedroom's walls are pretty thin and we could hear our neighbors partying late at night and suffering the effects of too much alcohol every morning (shudder). Don't let that put you off though- the views alone are worth it!
