Great Property in easy walking distance of Queenstown dining/shopping district

Our family spent a week in Queenstown and this property suited us well. The accommodations were comfortable and well-kept. The heated bathroom floors were a very nice and welcome touch! Some of the furnishings were a tad dated (dining room table is scratched and worn), but overall it was a great place for us to rest after a day full of skiing/snowboarding and exploring the area. The kitchen was well supplied for our needs. We enjoyed watching Lord of the Rings on Netflix in the cozy living area in the evenings. It was a short and scenic walk to dining and shopping. We would definitely stay here again!

Great Location and Great House

We wanted to be near Queenstown but not right in the middle of all action so we opted for this excellent house owned by Gemma down a ways from downtown byut across the street from the waterfront. She was easy to communicate with, the house is wonderful, the beds were comfortable, and the location is excellent and convenient, and we would stay there again in a heartbeat!
