    “Beautiful and family friendly”

    The accomodation was definitely a great find, we love that it is in front of the lake, we had a great time here. However, the price is on the higher side noting the beautiful scenery and the friendly neighbourhood. The check in could be made easier if there was instructions of the washing machine and dryer. We felt that we have to go back and forth to the reception to get extra towels or ask for information as there is no phone on the room for the convenience of the staff. Nevertheless, we will come back again when we come to Queenstown to enjoy this accommodation
