The view from the house is amazing. We had everything from sunshine to snow whist there. To get those kind of views you need to be up high, so you need to drive everywhere. It is up to you what more important- views or central.
I was disappointed in the communication we had. i asked if we could check in 2hrs earlier at 12pm as we had to wake up at 3.15am for an early flight. he said we would have to pay for an extra night. So obviously no one was staying the night before. I thought that was a bit steep and inflexible when i was just asking for 2hrs and the place cost a lot to rent.
When we arrived getting in was easy, but there were no communication or instructions. I had to text for WiFi instructions, my husband accidentally found the washer and dryer, no recommendations of good restaurants etc that can be found in other air bnb.
The place is beautiful and queenstown amazing, but a very impersonal stay. (Dont get me wrong, i don't want to be contacted all the time, but just a piece of paper explaining some things about the house and queenstown would have been a nice touch)
