The view is just as lovely as pictured. Lake Hayes is stunning and we enjoyed being so close to a lovely place to stroll. Queenstown is awesome and we enjoyed being close but not too close. The bed is really comfy and the hot tub is a fun touch. There is a price to pay for being so close to the lake- the bugs are no joke! The listing makes this clear-take it seriously! We were very careful to keep the lights off when the door/windows were open but we still managed to have bugs inside (we think they must have found a way in during the day.) Unfortunately we could tell others struggled with bugs too because there were bug remnants on the walls/ceiling when we arrived. It was very hot in the place and we thought the air conditioner took a while to cool us down. Also there is no sink in the kitchen so if you use dishes be prepared to wash them in the bathroom sink, which is a bit annoying. Overall: a pretty good place in a lovely location.
