We stayed in the Queenstown Lakefront Dream property for one week in January as a family of 5 including myself and husband, my mum and two children. The property is situated overlooking the lake and the view from the picture window is better than the picture on Airbnb. It is gorgeous. The property is a 40 minute walk along the flat lakeside track into town which some of us enjoyed most days. However note that the garden “path” from the house to the lakeside path is not really a path and is very steep and not suitable for anyone older or for young children. Installing proper stairs down to the lake path would help with this.

The main house was clean and modern and the kitchen had all the basics needed to cook. The living room was lovely with nice furniture, a sofa and chairs, and of course that killer view of the lake.

The bedrooms are not particularly large although adequate with fitted robes and plenty of drawer space. The ensuite in the main bedroom is tiny so the 5 of us tended to use the main bathroom on the next level down. We did not use the separate apartment as access was a little steep for my mum.

We were very lucky with the summer weather during our stay but this meant that the bedrooms at night were very hot and uncomfortable with only pedestal fans to help cool them down, (which didn’t work), as the heat rose from the lower part of the house up to the bedrooms. This is probably lovely in the winter months and although we didn’t stay in winter I would guess the house is lovely and warm during the winter season (there is a wood burner in the living room and heaters in the bedrooms). However I did report this problem and at the time of writing this I have been advised that the owners have already booked for air con units to be installed in each room, which I’m sure would solve the heat problem during the summer nights.

Overall we enjoyed our stay in the house and really loved the lakeside view. Queenstown as a place is amazing and we highly recommend it.
