Fantastic place. Not far to drive into town at all (we had a car but I noticed a bus stop just up the road). Great for groups or large families. We had 6 adults (3 couples) and it was perfect. Enough space and amenities that we could spread out but the open plan and huge couch also allowed us to come together, which was important because not only did we have family and friends visiting from out of the country but we stayed over Christmas. Throughout our 5 night stay we had breakfast and most dinners at the house and the kitchen was very well equipped. We spent most of our time at the large bar counter but the "nook" area, which had a smaller couch in the photos, now has a dining table, which was a great for meals together.
You are close to your neighbors but you dont even notice. The house is new and modern, and the 2 1/2 baths were a godsend for large groups! The table tennis and spa were utilized almost daily, another huge plus for our group. Having a spa after a long day of hiking is amazing.
Communication with the hosts was very prompt and thoughtful. Everything was very clean and well stocked for our stay. Although we didn't have children with us I noticed toys and such so they're set up nicely for that as well. Also, they had a few games and decks of cards, and plenty of extra blankets and towels.
Come to Queenstown for the activities, and stay here to recover from them :-) Seriously, from the bigger extras like the spa, ping pong, and huge couch to the smaller touches like games, this was our favorite accommodation on the trip.
Oh and just to reiterate again for you large groups and families... 3 toilets, 2 showers!!!
