Bivvy House is exceptional accommodation that adds a special dimension to a Queenstown holiday. Only 10 mins or so from the heart of Queenstown, the house is situated in a private gated community, but is completely private and you can’t see any neighbouring properties. Inside, the house is warm and serene, and the perfectly framed views of Lake Wakatipu and The Remarkables are majestic —incredible scenery to wake up to and come back to after a day hiking or sightseeing. (The view from the shower in the master bedroom is extraordinary.) Everything you could want is provided (unless you expect a microwave and an electric coffee machine: we didn’t miss either, and there are tea and coffee making facilities and provisions). We stayed there with a friend, and with the two bedrooms separated from one another by the kitchen and living room, and each with ensuite, we had privacy from one another. The host was attentive and helpful. Highly recommended.
