Kaye is an incredible host! Like the best ever. Read my other review for the descriptive version of the home and of Kaye's absolute awesomeness.

We were so fortunate to find the Lake View Retreat and to be able to book it. It is regularly booked and we happened upon an empty weekend so we initially booked it for Friday night and Saturday night. We loved it so much that we forfeited a $250 non-refundable stay in Lake Pukaki to be able to stay in the Lake View Retreat for an extra night. And to top it all off, I stupidly pumped petrol into the diesel rental (to my weak defense, diesel pumps are green in the US and petrol pumps are black; they're opposite in NZ) and Kaye allowed me to have a late checkout so I could deal with towing the rental and getting the new rental and the kids situated and everything. I couldn't appreciate her kindness, hospitality, and professionalism more. She is now my friend and I can't wait to go back to Queenstown to visit the beauty that's there and most especially stay in the Lake View Retreat! Truly a treat indeed.
